Larry Shapiro is a professional photographer whose comprehensive portfolio includes commercial photography, event photography, portraiture, and fire photography. His career spans almost 40 years. His work is deeply embedded in the fire service and includes apparatus photography, fire personnel portraiture, fire scenes, rescues, and other emergency scenes. He has authored nine books, most of which are fire service related. He currently is involved in the creation of commercial calendars featuring fire scene photography.
Through discussions with photographers from across the country, Larry created this blog to fill a need that was identified. While there are a vast number of sites on the web where people post images of fire scenes, trying to search for those scenes brings up thousands of hits. Similar keywords which include fire trucks, firemen, and fire scenes, tend to increase this number. Many of these results are not directly relevant to the search.
FireScenes.Net was created as a hub for photographers to have a place where people all over the world can view fire scene images. This also allows photographers to see the work of others and keep up with fires, without having to navigate through dozens of sites.
Larry – I received the check. Thank you. I am very interested for next years calander.

Captain Golondizinier,
Please contact Rick McClure formerly of the LA City FD for his permission. He was the photographer at that fire.
Hello,
I’m trying to locate Dan Shevlin or another who may have information about the CFD before 1903? I have a relative who was a Lt., but he died in 1903 and I have been unsuccessful in finding possible information about his employment.
Thank you
Sandy K.
Would like to contact Gary Dinkel. He photographed a fire featuring my Dad, quite a few years ago. Dad said it was a barn fire on Spitzig Road. The picture has fallen off the wall and is damaged and I would like to get another print if that is possible. It was a 16 x 20 print of My Dad,and 2 other firemen ( one is my brother too) pulling a firehose. Dad is grimacing.and straining. Someone put a label on the back of the picture. It reads ” Unsung Hero…….. by Gary Dinkel. I know you must have millions of pictures but if there is a way to get another print I would be very happy.
