Subject of photo:

It's not very often you get an opportunity to photograph a fire. This is a very interesting subject.
Composition & Perspective:
8
I'm glad you decided the point of view is the Firefighter as the "important" object in focus. Great use of depth of field.
Color & Lighting:
9
The colors are very complimentary and dramatic. It's great to see the green and orange work with the earth tones of the burning building.
Depth of field:
9
Excellent choice to use shallow depth of field. It brings your eye right to the mystery of the subject matter..the firefighter.
General impression:

Hi Laura:
The only thing that bothers me is I want to see more of the firefighter. What is that white object in his hand? It's ok that we don't see his face but I just want to see a little more of his hand and even one leg with his hose or tools used to put out the fire.
How to improve your photo
1.
Take different perspective shots: above, below, closeup and further away.
2.
Add a little more contrast to create more drama!
3.
Experiment with collage: take similar images and create a triptych.
