Taken at various drills and call outs with the Petersburg Volunteer Fire Dept (Petersburg, AK) and Capital City Fire/ Rescue (Juneau, AK). No PP on these images.

1. Not a posed shot, as seen during a live burn drill.

8. At an RV fire. Probably would've been better if he was facing towards the camera.

I think I like number 4 and 5 the best. The silhouetting in the 4th is very well done and dramatic. How do you get these shots?

AlphaChicken, I got these shots thanks to being recruited as the Emergency Scene Photographer for the fire department. I jokingly refer to it as ambulance-chasing, but nevertheless it allows me to be on scene for all these drills and call-outs...

Thanks for looking,
Herb

Those are some great shots, with good depth of field - surprised at so few replies, but I guess that happens in Urban Life

Great job, i like 5 and 6. I know exactly what he feels like in #5, but #6 i like the show, the smoke and him exiting the building. (why he is off air already i don't know) Keep up the good work, please keep posting them, and most of all, BE SAVE. you'll be in some great spots, and alot are dangerous, keep yer head up and come back alive.
