Kangareaux: Howdy neighbor, I kind of thought you were from south Louisiana with the username. Ya'll getting ready to brace for Bonnie?

The pics are actually of the dept I work for a couple were taken for a yearbook we are putting together, the one with the black bunting on the rescue was for a funeral. And nope he wasn't driving with the door open those 2 pics are actually taken on scene of a working fire. I was sitting in the ambulance (my side job) and had to snap through the windshield. Wish I had gotten it from outside but oh well..

Everybody else nice shots I love the other night time shots and the pic of the chicago truck.

the door...ahhhh.....makes sense now! LOL! (I was thinking "Oh I bet they were glad those didn't slide out!" Glad to know it was stopped. ;-D)

Beautiful trucks...but I'm biased given my location. (I'm almost positive they were made just down the road from me.)

I actually didn't catch the bunting until I had a second look at them. (I saw the doors...which shocked me...which *clicked* in my mind with where they were made...then I went back to look for a flame logo/plaque on the truck and saw the bunting. What can i say...I'm easily distracted. )

I have a fire photo I love, but not a truck photo. If I can figure out how to get it online I'll post it. (I haven't posted a pic in ages.....don't even remember which service i use....hehehe...)

eta: (looking again, maybe those aren't the brand trucks I think they are. Very similar though if not. But I see no flame logo so I'm not sure...)

Hi, here's a photo I shot in Boston of a fire truck coming down the road:

I kind of lucked out with this one. I was stepping out of a cafe when I heard the siren. I was already in TV (shutter priority) mode, so I was able to slow the shutter down to get some nice motion blur.

PS, thanks for the tip ukcatfan!

Great movement! You can definately tell he was in a hurry!

lol you would be correct they were made just down the road from you. Our dept runs 15 frontline apparatus and all but 2 now are made by them.

what are you planning on using them for? Not being nosey. Just trying to decide if it would be OK to send you some that I have. I have been given special permission by our city fire chief to take photos at house/building fires and I have hundreds of shots. Not sure how many have fire trucks in them but I know a lot do.

Not using them for anything. Just wanted to browse through some. There's not a forum out there that has a supply of firetruck pics to browse...at least that I've been able to find.

I'd LOVE to see some HDR firetruck pics that aren't so overdone that they look grimey. (I love HDR pics. But usually like them to have that "dreamy" or "shiny/slick" or "awe" feeling. The grungy ones usually just don't do it for me.... )

Hmmm ... you may have just given me a mission ...

Isn't that just annoying?!? LOL! They're still really good pics...just not what you want. Sometimes that's more frustrating than flubbing the shot completely.

Gotta say though, I LOVE the old truck.....pretty!

Oh jeez, yes. I saw the shot in my mind, the fire trucks in a line and my neighbors sitting in their yard with Bentley straining at his leash, and the flags, and the summer colors. I sat at the end of the driveway for half an hour, chit-chatting, laughing, scratching the dog's ears, toying with the camera settings and taking some test shots (it is the Nikon P5000 point & shoot, I don't use it a lot). Then everyone moved, and minutes later, with sirens and shouting and all sorts of commotion, the parade came down the street. And it didn't look anything at all like I imagined.

Yeah, Lampeter #1 is pretty nice. We went up to the bazaar later, and I like the way the late evening sun turned it kind of orangey.

Give me some time to load my pictures to webshots. Collecting pictures of fire apparatus and fire station is a hobby for me. I have a bunch of my fire stations loaded on webshots now but I will start to put my apparatus up. Here is a link to my webshots page

Hope you enjoy the pictures and I hope to be able to post some pictures soon.

Here are my fire vechicles, my Mum worked for the fire service here in the UK, so I take them for her. I have a little point and shoot camera, so sorry about the quality.

This one was taken in LA at a fire musuem

This one was taken at Buckingham Palace in London. Looks like the Palace has its own department.

Plymouth Engine 2 Old and New
Our 95 Seagraves and our 68 American LaFrance
The American LaFrance is just a parade piece now. The company had the chance to buy it back and we jump at the chance to bring back a piece of history back to our department.
