I was one of two photographers requested by the Hartford, Ct. FD to take pictures of the funeral of Firefighter Kevin Bell who died while operating at a 2nd alarm fire at 598 Blue Hills Ave. on 10/7/14. While these pictures are not of the fire they are the reality of what can and does happen to members while operating at fires. It was an honor to take the pictures while at the same time it is an uncomfortable experience.
Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Services responded to a power outage with wires down yesterday morning in Chevy Chase. The incident area was cordoned off due to the live wires arcing & catching fire. I took these apparatus shots of Truck 706 and Engine 706 staging outside of the hot zone. As you can see the tillered trucks have to navigate some narrow and winding streets here in Chevy Chase Village and the surrounding neighborhoods.
