The fire engine that arrived to deal with the transformer fire on our street a few evenings ago just after midnight. This image actually gives a very good idea of how the scene looked to the blearly homeowner who stumbles out of his completely dark house — the burning transformer having taken the power out, of course — and into the glare of the emergency lights of the fire engine.

I saw this one by the side of the road in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. Not sure of the vintage maybe someone could help out.

Fire engine hose pump, just liked the look of it.

Looks like Mornington fire station rolled out the good stuff for Australia Day celebrations! :)

This got me thinking I wanna get a picture of a cop car with its lights on.

Without getting caught.

Because I'm not sure that's actually legal.

I had not intended to go here today (my walk yesterday was through this area) but spotted the fire from the bus and hopped off at the next stop. Turns out it was a controlled practice fire. This used to be a motorcycle club, their lease must have run out. Lots of smoke and crackle. Lots of fire engines with nice numbers on them. Firemen having a picnic.

While some of us are swimming in the

cool waters of the Agean sea....

there are others who are risking their

lives to save our precious mountains....

This probably would have been better in color, but alas I was actually using B&W film. Imagine that--film!
