Determination......

Chelsea is a good medic, will teach you anything you want to know, had the pleasure of working with her on a call last night.

I am always, ALWAYS impressed with the professionalism of the departments in the Wappingers area. Job well done.

Jim and Bill great shots guys, awesome stuff, especially the sunset shot Bill

[Guest Photounit]

Thanks everybody....... If you look at all these photo's it shows that we all see things differently...... All the photo's show the incident in a different perspective..... Mark, as far as the sunset shot goes....... I kept looking at the sun saying I have to fit that into the scene somehow....... I took this shot first....... It's Wappingers firefighter Faughnan I believe who was the Chauffeur on the Truck......... He didn't have his lid on at the time........ It looked good but no lid ruined the photo...... I asked him if he would put it back on for me and thankfully he did and I took the shot again......... It made all the difference......

The scene was well covered, we got the front, we got the roof, we got to the rear with the several different stairs/escapes, we got the responders and the crowd and even the power guy, as Dan once said, these are great tools to look over and see and learn from. Excellent stuff.

Here are a couple videos I did

I just saw a video and wow that went to $%#@ quick!

I have to admit besides the great ladder positioning, the coolest picture was the Central Hudson "pole climber" with the flames in the background.
