April 18th, 2016 in front of Detroit Medical Center’s Heart Hospital.  The ambulance had pulled out from underneath the bay after dropping off a patient.  Detroit Engine 1 made quick work of it and it was an interesting few minutes of photography … to say the least.

Buffalo Grove (IL) police and firefighters were called to the scene of a two-car MVA Wednesday (6/15/16) at noon. Both drivers were injured and damage to the driver’s side of the sedan hampered access to remove the patient so a pin-in response was requested. Two engines, two ambulances, and the battalion were at the crash site in addition to several police officers. Two patients were transported to area hospitals.

These images were taken on April 23rd at a house fire at 67th and Indiana in Chicago.  It was a bedroom fire that was out before I could make it down the block, but I did get a few interesting shots that I thought I would share here. Eric Haak
