Riots in Rome 15/10/2011

The friendly face of Pete Hackney on the footplate of the 'J27' at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway.
Here's a memento from my fire service days that managed to survive the thirty-year transition into retirement. I’ve always identified with this old, suspender-clad hero from the traditional "Hook and Ladder" era because he is a dead ringer for the crew on duty at the very first station I walked into.
Back then, they were strictly "Firemen"—not a woman in sight—and the roster was packed with WWII veterans who were incredibly tough, thoroughly salty, and completely unhampered by modern sensitivity. My official rank in their eyes was "Whippersnapper," and I quickly learned that when one of those seasoned vets directed me to a task, I had better snap-to before the smoke cleared. They don't make them like that anymore.

Another bit of information, the song "The Fireman" was released in May 1985 by George Strait. It reached number 5 on the country music chart in the United States, and number 10 in Canada.

Last night they had a bad one a mile or two down the road.
Well my buddy walked out and left his woman burnin' out of control.
Well I was down there in about an hour or so.
With a little mouth to mouth she was ready to go.
I'm the fireman, that's my name.

I was lucky to get another footplate ride on the Middleton railway today, I took my camera with my 15-30mm lens to capture as much as possible in the confined space.
He’s on his way up to a pod to join a couple of others. They are dousing an already destroyed abandoned warehouse which still has a few hotspots. Some of the rubble is visible in the lower right of this image. Thanks for watching with me.

They have such lovely rhododendrons and azaleas at the Jenkins Estate.... The care of the plants is done by the Rhododendron Society and is all volunteer work....This is one of the better maintained parks in our park system... At least I think so :-D

Several of the cast wave at the fireman, during a night shoot at the North Carolina Transportation Museum.
Today the fireman and people did two drive byes. One for a lady who turns 90 today and a young lad turned 7. Lights and sirens and look at those SMILES.
When I was about 16, I saw this fire; it was probably around 1955. I went home, got my Leica M3 with collapsible f/2 Summicron lens, drove back to the fire, which had been put out by then, and got this shot of a tired firefighter. It's the first of my photographs I considered a success. There's one other shot from that day in this gallery.
Each November, we have the Firemen Parade. On that occasion, people give them money and toys for the children that are in need... :)
