It almost looks as if she is about to flash over. Am I correct to assume that?

@JPG129 No not really. There wasn't enough heat built up inside the house. The Fire was venting out the window and the fire was contained in the area near the window.

@TheHeat343 Well I had the FC 2 Original. Some of the other guys have the FC 3. But now, the newer cameras are out there. I now have the FC2 HD camera. Some of the other guys have the newest FC 3. Now the compact FC 2 HD camera is out now. I really liked my FC 2 original. I am trying out the FC 2 HD camera now but have not had any good fires to see how well it works compared to the original FC 2. The FC 3 is a very good camera for the money. Of course you get what you pay for.
