This week my photos are from the archives. The Sunday Stills Challenge was fire or smoke.
This is the scene of an abandoned building that was on fire. It was arson. My nieces husband, Hunter is showing a new recruit how to safely handle a fire hose. I didn’t have time to grab my tripod, but the photos still turned out pretty good.
My husband is on the local Volunteer Fire Department. I used to be a Volunteer Fireman/EMT too, I put in my time a long time ago..it is very hard work and dirty and very cold in the winter, I do not like house/building fires. I don’t like forest or brush fires either, or vehicle fires..I just don’t like fires. Camp fires maybe, but I make sure they are completely out with a couple of gallons of water.
This is a plume of smoke that was about to move over and obscure the windmill at a control burn ( practice for firefighters) in our area. Have a good week everyone:)
These are amazing pictures Connie. I have so much respect for all the men/women who risk their lives for others.

ReplyDeleteVery nice Connie!
ReplyDeletetragic but what beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! Best submission this week, great shots.:-)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I don't think the VFD gets nearly enough respect (until your own house is on fire).
