•  Support At full size the fire fighter on the right is not perfectly focused, but this image has a very high resolution and works terribly well at medium sizes. --Javier ME 15:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

  • I don't think this image highlights any army activities in particular. Those firefighters could've been from any commercial airport as well. -- MichaD 16:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Very few firefighters in the world are part of a military branch. There are tons of volontary people too, helping everyday civil workers. And in most armies, there are no personnal trained for fighting fires. Verdy p 22:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose Lack of focus on firefighters give poor resolution. This is even worse because of light saturation within grays (look at those plain white areas onthe heads, look at the lack of shadows within the grey uniforms). The front is also distracting, too much in focus. The composition does not show really their work, what is burning, and what they are using to fight the fire. The only subject is the flames to make the image artificially impressive (but the flames are finally completely out of focus and don't even need a so high resolution as they are completely blurred)!
