When I was young these were all over the state. Observers would man them 24 hours a day and shoot an azimuth to a fire. By triangulation they could pinpoint the location. Secure employment but not exciting work.
Morning, on the way Office,I saw the engines
the rescues and police and wondered why
The morning evokes the sound of bullet-showers
and the wet taste of sulfur from the burnt matches of the night before.
The cardboard bodies of soldiers
march like trained coffins through cemeteries
in orderliness:
left, right
left, right
left, right…
and the sky,
that porous circle,
spills a yellow liquid
over the vigilant walls
before slowly disappearing.
No no! That was happened in shortly?
Oh! the garage, workers who reparing vehical
a had workers before there breakfast
with pyrotechnics naturally
as the walls and ceilings flamed
and an orderly exit
becomes desperate under the unreal advance of the flames
suddenly a panicked crush to escape
the darkening interior of hell
the heat and toxic smoke
I can't imagine..
Fire, depending on your point of view:
Purifying, cleansing
Destructive, all-consuming
Really fun to play with
It's that last group you need to watch
Fire fighter, slow shutter.
Light and magic never shut's her.
When she spin the line of flame.
Those around her enjoys the game.

Following on from my portrait of Tom pre-fire, here is the result of a mouthful of paraffin colliding with a naked flame on the end of a wick stick.
I was having a lot of trouble trying to figure out a way to use my strobe light with these shots, which is why this image is without artificial light.
When I'm shooting fire like this I use a shutter-speed of anything over 1/500s. I find at those speeds I get a lot of detail out of the fire, versus the slower shutter-speeds where although there's more light cast in the overall image the fire becomes much more overexposed.
The issue with trying to use strobes to capture these shots is that my maximum sync speed for my camera and flash is 1/200s. This means my camera will capture the light from the flash, but at the cost of detail in the fire. There's other issues with this as well, like the colours the fire emits clashing with the electronic light of the flashgun. It's all stuff I'm looking forward to expanding on and working with.
Fire in a tyre depot spread to adjoining buildings. Time of call; 0648hrs. Incident went MP4, MP6, MP10 and finally MP14. Crews from Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire in attendance
The use of fire as a management tool by Aboriginal people was, and in most cases still is strictly controlled and dictated by an intimate and complex knowledge of the natural history and microclimate requirements of the flora and fauna of their domain. Most fires are lit in the early dry, when cool moisture laden nights would extinguish the fires ("cool burn"). Much of the vegetation and litter is too damp to burn, and so a mosaic of relatively small patches of burnt and unburnt country is a common feature. Both Aboriginal and European today recognise the value of this habitat diversity in the protection and production of flora and fauna diversity.
Who's gonna ride that chrome three wheeler
Who's gonna make that first mistake
Who wants to wear those gypsy leathers
All the way to Fire Lake...

While on a fishing trip to Collins Lake last week, we had to leave the park to get cell reception to make a phone call...and as we did so, we got hit with a tornado warning...
Thought those things didn't happen in sunny California?...
This photo was taken in August 2017 in the south of France in Provence. The town is a small town called Cadenet and this forest fire came close to the town but petered out before it did any damage. The fire started quickly and then seemed to burn itself out in about 40 minutes.
This exposure was about 15 seconds long.
