Harrisburg Church....




Hey Everyone,

Hope you had a good weekend. I am currently waiting for Bathfitter to show up and redo our bathroom as I sit and type this. This photo is from last week. With Lisa out of town and Wyatt at School. I decided to do a impromtu photoshoot up in the downtown area of Harrisburg. I always liked the downtown area because I think they have some of the coolest architecture around.

This is a church that sits right across the street from the Capital Building. I'm not sure what the name is, but I liked how it looked.

Hope you have a great day!

7th and Herr for the MVA...




Hey everyone,

So while I was up in Harrisburg. I just parked my car was going to walk up and take some photos of the Capital when I heard the beeps go for the men from the Uptown station get alerted to a MVA at 7th and Herr Streets. Where I was to where the accident was I was about 4-5 blocks away. So I decided to roll over and get some photos. This is Tower 2 and Wagon 3 on Herr Street right off of 7th.

I decided to see how well I could do with the black and white feature. I think it came out pretty well.

Hope you had a great week and I hope you have a great weekend!

Protector of the rails...





Hey everyone,

This is a photo of the newest Truck Company in the area. Truck 5-10 of the Strasburg Fire Company. They are first due to the Strasburg Railroad Museum and the other railroad attractions, hence the patch they have on the side of the truck.

That is all I have for today. Hope your week is going well!

The Paxton...




Hey Everyone..

This is a photo taken of the Paxton Firehouse located on S 2nd Street in the Downtown of Harrisburg. With my wife being in Texas and my son in school. I had a free day to myself, so I decided to head up to Harrisburg and do a little photographing and maybe chase a box or two(Only things that came in were an AFA in the Hill and a Vehicle Accident in the Uptown)

I do know this is the oldest firehouse in service and the only two story firehouse in the city. Some of my history books are still packed away so here are some facts about the Paxton from the Harrisburg City Website;

Station Six, known as the Paxton, was home to the former Paxton Engine Company No. 6. It is a two story, white brick, two bay firehouse and is the only station located in the downtown district. The firehouse is the oldest in-service station; built in 1937 on the sight of the company’s first quarters which was built in 1864 and severely damaged in the 1936 flood.


I believe this houses Tower 3 and one of the reserve rigs?? Brad, Rich or Brian, correct me If I am wrong..

Have a great day!!

One year ago today...



That fatefull day one year ago...I hope your at peace Pop. I miss you everyday...
