Gas Station Collapses on a Fireman

Occurred on May 20, 2017 / Iron Mountain, Michigan, USA

Info from Licensor: "A fire was discovered at the Mobil Gas Station with adjoining Burger King this afternoon that destroyed the entire building and injured 2 firemen.

I arrived about 20 minutes after it was first reported, there were flames coming out of the roof and many fire departments were still responding. I positioned myself near the entrance from US-2 Highway and caught the moment the building front collapsed onto a fireman.

The fireman was walking back from the building when the front sign fell, crushing him underneath with it still on fire. His fellow firefighters were trying their best to pull him free. Minutes later the crowd cheers as he was walking away from what looked like much worse. Local news is reporting he is going to be ok.

Firefighters from many departments, including some from Wisconsin, fought this fire until heavy equipment could be brought in to take it down."
