I took a few photographs during a fire in a building in central Minsk. I tried not to get in the way of the emergency responders, and I did not want to breathe smoke for long, so I did not stay there and soon moved on.

I think these photographs convey the contrast between a warm summer evening and the tension of an emergency situation.
