You know I want to preface this by saying fire
police serve a vital purpose. In most cases the fire police are
reasonable and professional. Tonight I run into the usual crap of
the "who you with?" game. This comes from a fire cop at my old
company I used to run with. Does is it makes a
difference who I run with? - if I am with a fire company does that give me a magical
force field protecting me? Unreal...it delayed me from getting the really cool shots
you all love. In a previous life I was a fire officer and did the
hose jockey thing for 20 years. Most people in this area who know me
understand that I am not going to take unnecessary risks to get a
picture. (And so many wonder why I didn't come out for almost a
year...LOL) And on the other side of the scene I
would like to say thank you to the fire police who let me into the
scene knowing who I was. Also to the fire officer who let me know
what the situation was on the scene of where to go and where not to
go. Its cooperation like that and mutual respect that make it
possible for me to share all my photos with you on here. It was
great to see everyone out there. Hopefully I will continue to share
the great work everyone does. |
