It is excellent picture. The fire-fighter looks really drained and exhausted. He is carrying a burden of the heat.
There is a fire-fighter, who is leaving the disaster site, in front of the picture. He is dressed in a protective coat and trousers. He is wearing a helmet, gloves and a mask. His clothing is very messy. He looks exhausted and depressed. Behind the fire-fighter, there is a group of other fire-fighters, who are trying to finish their work. In the middle of the picture, one of them is sitting on the street. Probably it´s a very difficult situation, so he is resting for a moment, while other colleagues are figuring out what to do.
