Christmas Treasures has been a staple roadside attraction for generations. Hopefully they will be again some day.
For now, Christmas Treasures is a tale of a former home of seasonal kitsch in the ashes.
The Holiday Farm Fire had a huge impact on the communities up the McKenzie River from the Eugene/Springfield metro area.
Road leading into the back gate of the farm at Mount Irvine NSW.
The smoke from the fires still lingers at the top part of the farm in the Blue Mountains of NSW after the October 2013 fires (the State Mine Fire).

The farmhouse was saved with only few minutes to spare after the fires ripped through the surrounding bushland and paddocks. At the stage the bush fire brigade arrived (with five trucks), fires had got to within 10 meters of the house. We were very, very, lucky.
.
Thank heaven for the Rural Fire Service of NSW, and for the assistance from our immediate neighbours whose quick thinking and care saved the house.

Other residents were not so lucky, tragically with 2 adjacent farmhouses and other property being totally destroyed.
This old farmhouse, located between Carnamah and Three Springs, WA, was burned to the ground some time ago and all that remains is the chimney, some watertanks and nearby sheds. The land is still cropped and harvested as though nothing has happened.
Our Daly Challenge: Out of Control
Today we drove through Malibu and saw the devastation that the Palisades Fire caused to Malibu. We saw burned out lots and blackened debris everywhere. We saw one subdivision that was completely obliterated! In total 6,831 structures were destroyed and 973 damaged. It is one thing to see a news report reporting on a “story”; it is quite different to see the devastation with your own eyes. I fought back tears driving through the scene, and we only saw a small portion the destroyed areas.
This fire was in early January this year. Already nature is reclaiming the area; notice the plant growing out of this burned out car.
Thank you so much for your views, comments and favs. I really do appreciate every one!

I reckon there must be a reason that this door has not been repainted in years, I first photographed it in 2010. Looks like there could have been a fire, hope I'm wrong.

Went to visit one of the lesser-known Breaking Bad Universe film locations, a laundromat, and discovered it had burnt up last month.
↭photographed through a smoke-streaked front window↭
A shot featuring neighborhood sentiment is here.
The property was built in 1948 and burned on February 17, 2024. So it stood for 76 years. The owner has said he'll rebuild.
When I first moved to 'Burque in 1988, this was a 24-hour laundromat. I lived a few blocks away (in a building at another BB location!) and did my clothes here for a decade. I hadn't been back in years by the time it became a Wash Tub in 2003.

(Chicago 1964) i was on my way home from high school one sunny afternoon when I encountered a fire raging at the Atlantic movie theater and the adjacent restaurant and bakery at 26th and Pulaski. When I arrived the fire department had just begun spraying water at the flames. Smoke was everywhere. I was able to take only a few pictures before running out of film.
The gas station attendant across the street told me "Two homeless guys started a fire in the bank entrance around 6 a.m. Sunday." The smoke entered the bank through a vent in the entrance area. What a mess! The bank will be closed for repairs and restoration. What a stink!

Something I’ve wanted to do for ages is find an old abandoned building and photography it, whilst holidaying in the Cotswolds we found this amazing site near Gloucester Docks, it's an old baker's warehouse.
This wall was exposed because the three 19th century historic buildings next door were destroyed by arsonists during the George Floyd protests. The structures could not be saved and were razed thus exposing this wall.

A five alarm fire occurred here in December, 2011. It is one of seven buildings in this mostly abandoned manufacturing complex in downtown Saint Louis Missouri USA. Thanks for getting a look.

The link gives full details of the damage and some fascinating ‘interior’ shots. Below I’ve pasted a couple of paragraphs.
‘On the night of Thursday 3rd May 2004, the church was completely destroyed by fire, probably started deliberately with one of the gas canisters used for heating. These canisters exacerbated the inferno by exploding at its peak. Everything inside was destroyed, except for the brass (it was set in the floor, not on the wall) and the monuments. All else became a charred forest of carbonised benches and calcified stone, shadows and ghosts of what was once there, inside a vast black skeleton.
St Wandregesilius now sits within a high security fence of bonded steel to prevent people from risking their lives in the ruins. It faces an uncertain future, except to say that it is unlikely ever to be restored to use as a parish church again. No doubt the walls are solid enough, and it could perhaps be converted into use as a house or something.’

Amid the arid landscapes of Anza-Borrego Desert near San Diego, California, these weathered palm trees stand as symbols of resilience. Overgrown and scarred by fire, they thrive with minimal water, embodying the enduring spirit of desert life. Panorama compiled using 5 vertical formatted images.
Burnt tea set damaged in the Atlas Fire in Napa County, CA. Photographed with a Leica IIIc using a Summitar 5cm f/2 lens. The film is Ilford Pan-F 50+ developed in Caffenol C-H (rs).
I was adjusting my PEN F to take a color photo of a fire damaged grove of oak trees in the LNU fire zone that burned 1,470 km2 of land in California. Many of the oaks survived the fire and are in leaf. I was attempting to show how life comes back. Well, I accidentally hit the shutter button while try to focus and fumbling around the adjustments and got this image shot in black and white and out of focus. I liked it, cropped it a little. Taken in Pleasants Valley in Solano County CA. with Olympus PEN F and 7Artisans 35mm f1.2 lens.

No injuries in this fire, but there was major structural damage. The fire was in an old hotel in a city near us.

Inside the southern boundary of Lake Superior Provincial Park, at Agawa Bay, lies the abandoned and destroyed Northern Auto (Agawa) Service Center.
The Restaurant/Garage/Store was destroyed by fire in April 2009.
Much though I dislike posting something with no real information, it is sometimes a way of finding out what I need to know.
This bus - actually about 50% of a bus - was on a low loader at Barton Park (Eastleigh) with obvious signs of fire damage around the engine compartment. I could not determine any previous identity for the vehicle nor deduce it from the remaining markings. I don't know where or when the fire occurred and I could not, in the course of a necessarily short visit, be sure whether the bus was being loaded or unloaded. Apart from that, (as they say).
Edit - 17 July 2019
Thanks to David Smith (see below) I now know this was Oxford Bus ADL Enviro 400H 307/HG11OXF and, based on an earlier photograph by David, I can deduce that it was being removed from Barton Park when I saw it.

Shot from an Urbexing trip - this building has been ravaged by fire on a few occasions and the floors are littered with twisted metal and charred remains of the roof and other flammable materials.
This section of wall on the second floor is adorned with a fantastic piece of artwork by an artist with the name of SNUB.

Location / Identities anyone? Thanks to Flickr friends below, the location was the MCW works at Washwood Heath near Birmingham, and identities of the six buses in view were as follows: M104 is the one burned down to chassis level in the foreground and I’d say the one with no front upper deck is M103. M53, M153, M175 and M188 were also sent to MCW for assessment and all bar M53 and M104 were rebuilt. Many thanks to Leaside Preservation Group (see comments below)
The MCW Metrobus was a two and three-axle double-decker bus manufactured by Metro Cammell Weymann (MCW) between 1977 and 1989. Launched in January 1977, with the first five prototypes delivered to local passenger transport executive operator West Midlands PTE, the MCW Metrobus was conceived by Metro Cammell Weymann as a successor to the integrally-bodied Scania Metropolitan, which MCW partnered with Scania AB to manufacture the bodywork for (MDs in London). The London Transport Executive purchased 1,440 MkI examples between 1978 and 1985, numbering them M1 to M1440. The type remained in service in London until the mid 2000s.
