My Favorite Fire Chief


A smoldering look from the Fire Chief. He's a bit camera shy, but with a little persuasion we managed to capture this image for posterity.

Many thanks to the Fire Chief for not only going into the station on his day off, but going in on a holiday just to help me make my nephew's Easter extra-special. Not only did we get a ride in a fire truck, but also a personal tour of the station and a super awesome demonstration of a thermal camera.

Fast fact #1: You can lose a structure to fire in as little as 7 minutes.
Fast fact #2: Firemen can get into their gear in 90 seconds.
Fast fact #3: Fire trucks get about 5mpg.

There's more, but that will have to wait until later.

A great portrait. Seems to capture the niceness you talk about in your commentary.
