Movie Magic in Lititz....

Hey Everyone,

Sorry about yesterday's post. I just forgot! That's what happens when you get to be Brad Myers age..(Just kidding buddy)

On Sunday, I worked some OT then went over to Lititz to meet a friend of mine from their department to get some new photos of their Seagrave Wagon(Engine). While waiting and talking to some of the other guys that I knew, I asked what was going down on Main Street and they said a movie was being flimed by a group of College Students. So I thought that would make for a cool photo op and I took a walk down and snapped some shots.

If you have never been to Lititz, it is home to Wilbur Chocolate and it is a pretty neat little town. Alot of Historical buildings in town as well. Lititz also does the largest fireworks show in this area for July 4th.


Have a great day!

More Barn Fire Pictures...

Hello Everyone,

TGIF!! These are some more photos from the barn fire earlier in the week that I photographed. The first photo at the top shows what the barn looked like from the main road before I walked back a VERY long lane.

The second photo shows the water supply in operation. Basically, the tanker from the Neffsville Fire Company is supplying the entire fire scene with water. It is acting as a nurse tanker, meaning that all the other tankers with water, will dump their loads into the red porta-tanks set up on the road to supply the Neffsville tanker, they will then nurse the water up to the scene through the hose lines.

I wanted to make that as easy as possible for the non firefighting folk to understand that.

The other photos are of the Lititz Fire Company Ladder Truck flowing water onto the barn. The fifth photo shows the aftermath of the fire.

The very last photo shows other tankers waiting in line to dump their water.

That is all, I hope you have a great weekend!!

Skywatch...

Happy Skywatch Friday!!


These photos were taken Tuesday morning. I had woke up when I heard a dispatch for a working barn fire about 10 to 12 miles from my residence. My wife and son had already left for the day so I decided to run up with the camera. These photos are of the smoke in the sky from that fire. These were taken when I was about a mile from my house..

Large Barn Fire...

Hey Everyone,

This photo was taken yesterday morning at a large barn fire just outside the historic town of Lititz. This photo is of an old friend of mine who is a Captain with Lititz walking towards the command post. The smoke from the fire could be seen for miles. I live about 10-12 miles from here and when I got about a mile from my house, I could see the header. So I decided to take a run up with the camera. I shot about 100 images before I headed back home to get ready for work.

Time for bed,

Have a great day!

PS. I hope you like the new layout of the blog, I just decided to change it up and I hope you like the photo. I know two of my Harrisburg Fire Department Friends that will..
