As a photojournalist for a local newspaper, you usually have time to ask only a few questions about each story you cover. For your story, you always need to identify the main people in your photographs. In addition, you must describe what is happening in the photo and where the photo was taken.

Today your assignment is to cover a fire at 122 Rose Street. Read about the fire, and write four questions you would ask. To whom would you address each question? Start with the most important question you would ask. Remember you have very little time.

Description of Scene

A woman in a bathrobe is standing by one of the fire trucks. Her face and hands have blisters on them. She is crying and holding a screaming baby. An emergency medical technician is trying to persuade her to go to the hospital. You snap a photo of the three people.
