Good shots.. Not to many people know what positions to get good photos in. What camera are you using?

Looks like that's the new HM-1 that was posted about earlier.

Also the Brothers of the Marine Unit couldn't have known they'd shortly be seeing some action, as the south Street Seaport pier caught fire yesterday and went to 3 Alarms. From what I read in the news it sounds like they did a great job in getting that fire under control fairly quickly.

It may be have been Firefighter Appreciation Day at the Intrepid, but every single day is Firefighter Appreciation Day in my book.

Good times all around. I was on the pier just south of the Intrepid for my pictures. I was filming some of it for my cousins son, and explaining what each boat was. My girlfriend says to me, "Who are you talking to??" as I shut the camera off. Kinda funny. I ended up buffing the 3rd with them, but by the time I got down there, not much to see other than rigs.

nice pics, whats that orange lightbar doing on a battalion car? red and white emergency stand up bars on the back?

[JM15 386]

Im not an expert but Battalion cars have numbers in the back window... Looks like that is some sort of Non-Emergency vehicle since it says fire safety and has the yellow lights

2 Truck was also rocking the spare. They dropped their drive shaft in the middle of I think 2nd Avenue a few weeks ago. They were heading up to the 59th Street Bridge for a wreck. Anyways, here's my contribution.

I really don't like shooting rigs on a day like this because they aren't really positioned for the good shots. Then all the compartments are open, kinda takes away.

Marine 1 after the water display.

Marine 6, 6B(EMS Boat), and Marine 8.

Marine 6 and 9 doing the water display.

Onto the pier for the rig shots.

Then it's off to get lunch, then down to my office to show my stepson what his old pal Jimmy does for a living. As we walk into the PSAC that time forgot, a 2nd Alarm being transmitted for Manhattan Box 76. Pre-requisite bathroom breaks, and off we go. Mind you, we drove past this not even 15 minutes before, and saw NOTHING!!!!

Rescue 1, L-118(Think I took this with the cell), L-6, E-14, E-15, E-7, and Squad.

Not now, Chief, I'm in the #@%^ing Zone!!!

On the way home, the little guy needed a bathroom break. Then again, so did his mom and me. We stopped at 95 Engine and took care of things. They got a run as I was leaving, so the little guy got to see them turning out, which put a nice sized smile on his face.

Hope ya like the pix. Enjoy!!

JBE - a bad picture is still better than no picture!

You guys know me. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this stuff.
