  • Oppose - It's really foggy, I know it's not possible to take a clear shot in such place, but this is too obscure (esp. it's not easy to understand what's there in the background?!). We can find more clear images from the fired places. ● Mehran Debate● 12:24, 1 March 2012 (UTC) reply
    • Foggy? Isn't it smoke? Wouldn't you expect that from smouldering things after a fire? JJ Harrison ( talk) 06:03, 2 March 2012 (UTC) reply
      • Apologize, I meant "Smoke"! As I said above it's very obscure, please compare this image with some other similar ones. ● Mehran Debate● 10:54, 3 March 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Weak oppose Doesn't show the fires themselves, although the best composition would include both fires and firefighting efforts. Brandmeister t 00:02, 3 March 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Comment A better caption about what the firefighters are doing would help with this image's EV. Pine talk 08:56, 3 March 2012 (UTC) reply

      • "Doing mop up" isn't very explanatory. Can you be more specific? Pine (talk) 22:31, 4 March 2012 (UTC) reply
