Firefighter and Smoke in Sepia Monochrome

Though the wind is blowing towards the right, the fire is actually spreading the opposite direction due to the dry grass being present and a small firebreak on the downwind side. Being upwind is definitely not all that's needed to stay safe from fires. As an observer at this controlled burn training exercise, I was required to stand behind the main firebreak pictured in the photo.
