Car Fire Well Involved....

Hey Everyone,

Hope your week is going well. I am now on my two days off. I may take my son up to the Harrisburg Farm Show that is going on. I never been there in my life but I heard it is a good time.

I was on my way home with dinner last night when I heard this car fire being dispatched. I was not too far away so I decided to start heading that direction. I heard the fire chief arrived with a well involved vehicle. I arrived right behind the first due engine company. The photos are actually in reverse order. The bottom photo I shot from my vehicle as I was heading up the driveway and the other two I snapped as I was walking up to the vehicle.

I will post a few more on the fire tomorrow..

Have a great day!

The watchroom...

Hey Everyone,

This is a photo of the watchroom or the watch area at the quarters of E45 and L14 in Philadelphia. This is one of the most important areas of the firehouse. A member is required to sit here and turn out the companies as alarms are received, answer the phone and deal with citizens that may happen to stroll into the firehouse looking for assistance.

Both companies were out on a run at this particular moment the photo was taken.

Have a great day!

More from the fire...

Hey everyone,

More from the fire I went to. This was after the second alarm was dispatched. 2 firefighters received minor injuries when a TV exploded as they were making entry through the front door. Both were treated and released at a local hospital.

Have a great day!

2nd alarm assignment...

Hey Everyone,

I know I normally don't post on Saturday, but I wanted to try and get some posts in. I think I corrected my blogger problem at the moment. I had to switch back to the old editor as the new one would not let me post any photos. It was stuck in EDIT HTML mode and I could not press the compose button. I still can't in the new editor.


Anyway, this was taken last night at a 2nd alarm house fire. I was at a going away party for one of our guys at the firehouse who is getting redeployed back to IRAQ. When the initial alarm came in, I did not head down till they hit the second alarm. Of course at that time, everyone was yelling at me to go get photos. So I ran down and then came back and filled everyone in...


Have a great day! I will post more from this fire over the next few days

Help

Hey Gang,

Is anyone having issues with uploading photos at all?? Every time I try to post, I do not have the ICONS that allow me to upload...

Any advice or suggestions???

More from the Chimney...

Baby it's COLD outside.....

Hey Everyone,

Happy New Year!! Hope it is going well for you so far. I would be happier if this COLD would go away. I had a short day at work yesterday. As I was leaving, my department was dispatched for a chimney fire. So I decided to head to the call before I headed home. NOT a fun time in about 40-50 mph COLD winds that we had. I think this was the coldest weather I ever shot photos in and the NIKON worked like a champ.

Have a great day!
