  • @Nick-D and Reza babaeian: as I mentioned in the reason section you can vote for either image individually, not as a set. There is no procedural conflict in doing so. If either image gets 5 supports, it becomes FP. Bammesk (talk) 02:53, 1 June 2020 (UTC) . . . . Nick-D, about "different fires": the EV is not on the "fire incident" itself, but the act of "firefighting". They both depict the act, each in its own way, and enhance the Firefighting article (one as article lead, one in a section). Bammesk (talk) 03:08, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, both. As I said, second image is not suitable illustration of whole process of firefighting. first image is chaotic, for example one firefighter who is extinguishing fire by water is hidden. Rez-A (talk) 06:58, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose set. I'm not necessarily opposed to sets made up of photos from different times/places, but it's not obvious to me that these produce a "set". A "set" might be (for example - I'm making this up) the four main firefighting techniques, the three main tools of firefighting in use, the 5 stages of fighting a fire, or something like that. As best as I can see, these are just two different images of firefighters. Josh Milburn (talk) 16:13, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – Middling content. Flames look oversaturated. – Sca (talk) 14:20, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
