The men kept fighting the fire.
Afghan Soldiers joined the firefight.
The Afghan Soldier on the right appears to be spilling the water, but 95% of the time he was on target. Bad photo moment.
The men were starting to beat the fire.
The women decided to leave.
This Afghan Soldier seemed to be asking the women to stay. It was probably a little dangerous to leave just now. After all, the fire had been ignited by an enemy bullet.
Several times the Afghan Soldiers seemed to ask the women to stay inside the walls of the compound. They were polite but, you know, there had just been a firefight and it’s probably not a good idea to head out with the kids when armed Taliban are lurking about.
It appeared that one Afghan Soldier finally just turned the women back and didn’t let them leave. The women took the suggestion and headed back inside.
