This was the weakest category with only a few entries and most were run of the mill and not really contest worthy. Good job by the photographer getting to the fire fast in the first-place picture. The reflections make the second-place picture work, but otherwise not a lot going on. Again, good job by the photographer getting to the rollover scene quickly. Just pretty standard otherwise. Unless access was restricted, which shouldn't have been, they should have got right in there with a wide-angle lens and it would have made this picture a bit more dramatic seeing more of the truck. The truck to the left takes away even though it helps frame the scene.
