V/Fishkill (Dutchess) Working Fire (2nd Alarm)

[Guest Photounit]

Here are a few of many photo's I took of this incident and I know there were others their too who got different shots than I did.... I only worked on a few images (I'm beat) and I may put a few more up here in the future...... From a photographers point, this was a good fire to photograph..... The weather was perfect, the building was nice, the natural lighting was great, and then of course, you had the fire..... Now all I had to do is put all that together...... I will put the rest up on my site (WWW.FDPHOTOUNIT.COM) at some time in the future..... If you try to access my site and get the following error "There is a problem with this websites security certificate", you can ignore the error.... It IS NOT a security risk..... Just proceed to the website.... I own the URL www.fdphotounit.com and have it forwarded to http://fdphotounit.smugmug.com/ thus the error.... I now have to pay someone to have my certificate updated to get this corrected..... Also - FYI, any photo's purchased off my web site Do Not have the watermark on the print !!!!!! Anyway, here are the photo's...... Bill

Fishkill's 42-12 had the #2 side......

Heavy fire now vents from the cupola as interior crews try to get at the fire (And succeed)........ Nice job by all......

That's all for now.......

Thats a MUCH larger job than it sounded on the radio!

Great pics Bill...

Question....does everyone in Rombout wear white turtleshell helmets? Just Officers? Just Chiefs?

I have to say it looked like more Chief's fighting the fire than firefighters. everywhere I turned someones coat said "Chief'!
