Barn Fire...

Hey all,

Yes I know it's been quite awhile since I posted. I took these this past Sunday. Wyatt wanted to visit Hershey Chocolate World and he and I were leaving there when I heard the call go out. For those that are familiar with Hershey, we could see the header by the Derry Township Police Station. I'd say we were about 15-16 miles away at that point. Photos are about 25 minutes into the incident.

Top photo is my little boy watching operations. The photographer that is standing with him is the photographer of the department who was running the incident. She's also a good friend and coworker. She watched him for a few so I could get some scene shots. He was also helping to hand out water to the guys that came over.

The second photo is of a Junior Fireman watching Dauphin County Truck 88 back into position.

Third photo is a LT from Rheems Fire Department supervising overhaual operations...

That is all, have a great day!

My first wedding...

Hey all,

Yes I have expanded to photographing weddings now! Actually, a buddy of mine that I work with had his original photographer back out and left him in a jam, so he asked me If I would help him out to which I did. It was a long and HOT day. The wedding took place behind the fire station in which he is a captain at.

This is a photo of the ring bearers and the bride and her father walking down the path to the rest of us. I scouted the location earlier before the guests arrived and found a spot behind some trees where I could have a great vantage point and be able to capture the faces and reactions and emotions the bridge and groom were having. As of right now, I am still editing and processing all the photos as I shot over 1,400. It was fun to do it though..

That is all, have a great day!

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.

Skywatch

This past week, I was fortunate to photograph the fire apparatus from the BWI Airport Fire/Rescue Department in Maryland. I tried to time it a few times where I could get the aircraft in the background, because my thought was that would make a great post for SWF.

Airport Fire Protection...

Fire in a storm...

Hey everyone,

I took these on Tuesday. We had some pretty nasty thunderstorms roll through our area. My company was dispatched to assist on a working townhouse fire. I normally don't go out to photograph in this type of weather, but where the fire was at was litteraly 2 minutes down the road from me. This was one of the many reported fires that hit the area within a few hours. I have to admit, the NIKON held up pretty well in the rain..

Have a great day!

Everyone loves a parade
