Bancroft, Idaho Grainry Fire

Fire Sequence

On March 2nd, 2004, at 8:30 A.M.

an old General Mills Grainry

was set fire for safety purposes!

Being a Deputy Sheriff

I was assigned to do security

and therefore I was in the right place at the right time

to do this photo shoot!

My intent was not only to shoot a sequential

series of photos,

but perhaps Firemen, Law Enforcement Officers

and Fire Investigators could

learn some from the dynamics of this fire

to apply to Arson Investigation.

Also the photos show just how fast flames

can spread, where they go, and just how short

a time this huge structure was gone about

2.5 hours from when it was set it was totally

gone!

Thanks, Gary D. Etchison
