The complimentary colors in this are stunning! I like the darker tones in the front, and the mist in the back. You get a good sense of loss from how you've framed the disarray and debris. Great shot.

Critique
Nice shot you have here. I like the detail in the embers, how you've caught them glowing red.
But there are a lot of points we can improve on, and I'll touch on as many of these as I can.
First off, parts of the fire is overexposed, but I don't think it is really possible not to as it is a light source itself.
Next, near the front, the black colours are too dark. You could try fixing this in photoshop (Image > Adjustments > Shadow & Highlight). If you don't have photoshop, there are other image editing programs you can find on google that can help you.
The big thing in the middle is quite soft but distracting, and the building in the background drags my attention. I know you couldn't fix these two things, but next time try positioning yourself in lots of different places to get a different kind of shot.
I would like to have seen this picture taken at a lower level, maybe looking up at the fire to show it dominating the area. From the current angle it doesn't look as fierce as it would from lower down.
The detail in the wood at the very front and middle is great, very sharp and you can see the ashes forming on the wood.

thank you kindly
did you mean the way i shot it, i cant fix the overexposed parts? or that most fires have some overexposed spots
thats a good idea! i havent ever really thought to make just part of the picture lighter..
and i do hate that house in the background... originally i took the photo to show the acutal line of fire going through..
i didnt notice it was in the shot till it was too late, lol
i did do TONS of different angles though.. just not in that same spot like i should have. 
thanks soooooooo much.. im always lookin to improve

I meant most fires have overexposed parts, you can't help that sometimes.
