Engines in the evening

Earlier this evening, the sound of a fire truck racing by drew me away from my studies and to the open window. Stopping just up the street, the truck's engine rumbled to a backdrop of still more approaching sirens. In the end, the fire appeared to be only in a blanket which they quickly beat to death on the front lawn. However, no fewer than five trucks (including the full ladder truck) arrived on the scene... If you look closely at this photo, you can see the ghosted image of a walking fireman, captured due to the long low-light exposure.

If I wouldn't know better, I'd have thought such stories came only from Cochrane!
