I am still around...

Hey everyone,

These are photos taken from a multiple alarm row home fire in North York Borough. Photos are about 90 minutes into it when I first found out about the fire. I heard fire equipment from Lancaster being dispatched into York so I got curious and saw they had just struck the 4th alarm. So I took a ride over and the bottom shot is what it looked like when I arrived.

Don't worry folks, I am still around. I have been working a ton lately which leaves me little time to do anything else. With what free time I do get, I like to spend it with my wife and boy. I've been checking out all your blogs, I may not comment but I make it a point to visit at least once a day.

Bradley, thanks for the concern. I appreciate it. All is well and I will be at PPP on the 10th.

New Arrival...Sort of...

Hey Everyone,

On April 18th, I travaled over to York County to see an old friend of mine I have not seen in awhile. He is a member of the York Township Fire Department. Station 19. I also wanted to see their new ladder truck. They recently purchased a 2003 95 FT Seagrave Aerial Scope from the Elizabethtown Fire Department here in Lancaster County. The first two photos are of the tower in action when it was Truck 7-4 here in Lancaster. The bottom photo is of the truck after getting relettered and is now known as Truck 19.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to Brian Bastinelli, of Brian Basitnelli Photography and a member of the famous uptown firehouse, Harrisburg Tower 2 B platoon with Brad Myers, is also a member here at York Township and was kind enough to pull the truck out for me so I could get a few shots. Thanks Brian!

Have a great day!

Fires running the row...

Hey everyone..

Hope your week is going good. This photo was actually taken this morning at a multiple alarm fire in York City. I was leaving work at midnight and turned on the scanner. I originally thought I was listening to a working house fire in Coatesville City down in Chester County. I then heard York Chief 2 arrive on the scene with command and ask for an additional alarm. So I decided to take a ride over. Listening to the scanner, I was anticipating on still seeing some fire when I got there. All I saw though was smoke. So I shot some scene shots and I was actually looking for Brian Bastinelli thinking he may have been there, but did not see him. This photo is of the former Truck 16 from Springettsbury Township Fire Rescue. It is now Truck 89-1 from York Area United Fire Rescue. It is the merger of Springettsbury and Spring Garden Townships.

Hope you all have a great day!!
