Fire Quick Write

When I seen this photo i automatically thought this man was jumping over the fire to save somebody because as you can see in the photo he has a rag tied over his face as well as the people on the background, and the people in the back also have some type of poster like there was people protesting.And also because the furniture is on fire if this was a party who in the hell would want to volunteer their furniture to get set on fire so somebody can act cool and jump over it?
