description
This black and white photograph captures a dramatic moment during a fire at the Graylyn Estate in 1980. Smoke billows from the rooftop as firefighters on a ladder attempt to control the blaze. The ladder truck extends towards the roofline, while the upper sections of the building, including chimneys, are obscured by smoke. The scene is set at night or during low-light conditions, adding to the intensity of the fire's glow through the smoke. The image showcases the efforts of the fire department in combating the fire and preventing further damage to the estate.
