As a former firefighter, this picture has a throwback feel to it. It reminds me of the pictures that were published in Firehouse magazine back in the 70s and 80s. Both firefighters look like they are wearing leather helmets, neither has SCBA on, and it is hard to tell whether they are wearing bunker pants or 3/4 length boots. From a critical perspective, I like the silhouetted look, and how the subjects seem to be unimpressed by the fire.
