The Fire: Flames, Silhouettes, and Courage
There was once a fire; this fire was greater than any I had seen. It devoured multiple buildings, without pausing, realizing what destruction it was “accomplishing”. It seemed, as I pondered the situation, that the old firewalls (which were constructed primarily for this purpose) bordering the outer perimeter walls had more of an effect of delaying the inevitable, versus the many, many firefighters, since it was just that:
The biggest fire I had ever seen.
People, no matter how equipped they are to fight nature, seem to always look so small.
I can still smell the smoke; it was all around us. We were told not to be there, because it was dangerous. I met the cop that took us in his car after we got picked up at the train yard after “The Chase” shoot.
Thank you, firefighters of the world, for what you do.

Matt… Thanks so much. Your photos capture so much of what we do. Your photo work is so awesome!!!
Wow that was the best pictures i have seen. great job keep up the good work.
Those are some of the best fire service pics I’ve ever seen. There is a lot of talent there. It’s hard for people to see what we do close up but with people like you everyone can see the actions that actually take place. Stay safe and keep it up.
All I can say is “Awesome!”
