On Scene with the Bridgeport Fire Department with a structure fire at 88 Horace St. Crews were called for a fire in the upper floors of a 2.5 story OMD. The first due engine and truck found the second floor and attic well involved with heavy fire coming out of the second floor porch. A special call was put in for addional engines and the safety officer due to the extent of the fire and the summer heat. The fire was knocked down in about 30 minutes but the structure required extensive overhaul to be sure all of the fire was extinguished. Representatives of the City's Fire Investigation Unit responded to process the scene and interview any and all witnesses to the fire. Though several families and thier pets were displaced no injuries were reported as a result of this fire.
The zip on my coat that's managed to keep me warm this winter, it's presumably not supposed to be that silver colour and is actually just brass that is coated for looks.
Shot using my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 attached to my Canon 400D backwards using a cheap filter converter (it screws into the filter thread on the front of the lens).
Focus was set to infinity, and was lighted using the on board flash; which didn't go so bad!
In 1861 a plan was formed to construct a breakwater off Laggers Point to make Trial Bay a harbour of refuge for those ships too big to cross river mouths.[3] Further plans included the idea to use prison labour for the construction, with a prison established specifically for that purpose. In 1877 work on the gaol commenced and in 1886 it was proclaimed a prison and inmates moved there.
The breakwater they worked on was to extend some 1500 metres out into the bay, built from granite blocks quarried from the nearby hill. Heavy gales caused damage to the structure as it progressed over the years. In 1898 and 1899 new wings were built on the prison, suggesting work was intending to continue, but in 1903 it was abandoned. Apparently the prison was costly to run and didn't fit with ideas of penology of the time.
About 300 metres of breakwater had been built, and it had shoaled up the bay considerably. A wharf had been built inside the breakwater in 1898, not meant for public use, but which ended up used regularly by passenger ships which could not navigate the Macleay River mouth. Today only a small section of the breakwater remains, about 50 metres, and nothing of the wharf.
In 1915 the gaol was reopened to hold German wartime internees. Most were single men of some education and included officers of the German Army Reserve. A rumour went around in 1917 that a German landing party planned to free the men and when a German raider the SS Wolf was seen in 1918 the men were moved to the large camp at Holsworthy outside Sydney.
This was the last use made of the prison and it was stripped and fixtures sold off in 1922. Today it's open to the public, operated as a heritage site by the National Parks and Wildlife Service

Deconstruct to make safe structures in Croydon following devastating riots.
About the project:
Deconstruct UK Ltd, provided their immediate response services to make 'safe' the dangerous structures, after the Croydon riots.
The project involved eleven structures affected by fires following street riots in August 2011.
Numerous structures were left un-safe as a result of the fires and un-controlled collapses.
There was significant risk of contamination from asbestos debris and also live gas and electrical services located in the footpaths and alleys. Around 30 families were made homeless as a result of these fires and a number of others faced a wait to re-enter their adjoining premises.
Deconstruct were required to retain as much of the adjoining structures as possible and avoid collateral damage following the making safe of buildings clearly in need of planned demolition. The clear objective was to retain and return safe access to adjoining structures while opening this key road into and out of Croydon.
"Parking Structure One at PSU being built in 1964.
That’s SW Broadway there on the lower right.
No idea what that church building is across SW 6th"
Ken says: "1890s plat map shows it as an Methodist Episcopal church at Sixth and Hall, northeast corner."
and
"Rev. A.C. Fairchild's congregation originally built the Hall Street M.E. church at Sixth and Hall in 1869, when the site had to be cleared of fir trees to build a sanctuary.
In 1897 the congregation was unable to keep up its mortgage payments after the financial panic earlier in the decade.
Rabbi Max Levin's Congregation Talmud Torah leased the property beginning in 1897. The synagogue building, designed by Otto Kleeman, was built in 1911 (MO 10-4-1897; 5-7-1911)."
Jim says: "That church was not long for the world in 1964. I think the Ondine (PSU's first dormitory building) went up on that corner the following year."
Brendan notes: "So the 5th Avenue Cinema would then be on the site of that building just behind the church. I thought it was older than 1964."
Michael says: "Ondine was built in 1967. 5th Avenue Cinema is all part of that complex."

The area in Utah near the Colorado River and Arches National Park is full of surreal landscapes and rock formations.
Dispatched at 2:46pm on the afternoon of April 12, 2025, firefighters soon arrived at the 3100 block of East Fairmount Street to find heavy black smoke pouring from the rear of a property.
The bulk of the fire and smoke was due to an automobile and carport burning behind a row of single-story bungalows, but the intense flames had already spread to a neighboring single family dwelling as well. Additional companies were requested, while crews on scene worked to contain fire on both properties and prevent any further spread. 38 firefighters achieved a knockdown of all fire within 22 minutes, enabling the Incident Commander to cancel the additional incoming companies.
All occupants were evacuated from the affected structures and assessed by paramedics on scene, with no injuries reported.
