What do you like?
Good point of view showing the fireman doing what they do best, saving property and lives.
What would you improve?
I might just cut off a bit from the top.

What do you like?
This is a good news photo or snapshot for the scrapbook.
What would you improve?
To make this into an "art" photo, it would need several things, of which all but one are beyond your control. The one you could control is exposure. The shot is a little dark. If you have post-processing capability, increase overall light and lighten the faces even more to make the firefighters more human. For the things you cannot control, I would list having the firefighter on the ladder facing away from the other men and into the fire and having more smoke for drama.
Good shot with what you had to work with.

FFPat@jvittek Thank you for the feedback! That is one of the challenges of working on fire scenes, I don't get to control the directions people are facing or what they're doing. I will play with the lighting and see if I can lighten things up.
