Trucks responding to a house fire one night in Hagerstown, a city near the Appalachian Mountains in Western Maryland. Print Size 13x19 inches. HTT.
An old farmhouse that was apparently abandoned after a disastrous fire, likely many years ago. This is a side profile of what is actually quite a large house, now being pressured by interesting vegetation, including the tree that leans on the roof.
I was able to get other interesting angles on this house despite the No Trespassing signs on the house and property because it was located just off a small road. I am guessing that the No Trespassing signs might be posted out of concern for legal liability because it is hard to believe that there is any value in the building.

It's sad that these people lost their home going into a new year. A house fire I covered for the local press back in the day. I've had to amend the date of this fire because, looking at this roll of film, which I started because of the New Year's Eve party my roommate and I held, there is a shot taken the day after this party, ergo January 1st. So, the fire had to have been on the night of New Year's Day.

Those red markers on the lead E7 are probably an indication that this train just backed into NorthWestern Terminal from the coach yard along the Geneva Subdivision (mainline to Iowa.) This must have been taken as I returned from Elmhurst to my north suburban home. I actually have the passenger timetable from this era (stained with smoke from a housefire in JAN'67) and it looks like this is either #1 to Clinton, Iowa, or #209 to Ishpeming, Michigan. Train #1, known as the "Kate Shelley" although the railroad had dropped the formal title, usually rated one unit and single level cars - maybe three or four of them. The train to "IshMich" was a bi-level train that in summer may have justified the use of two units, so I'm guessing that this is it.
He joined the service in 1980 and is retiring (mandatory at age 65) this month; Doug's 44 years as a paid on-call fireman were served under seven different fire chiefs. He loves this (also retired) 1954 Peterbilt pumper truck - as a new recruit he and three other crew rode on a platform at the rear.
Me: Do fireman actually rescue cats?
Doug: If they are stranded for a couple of days, yes we do.
Me: Toughest call?
Doug: We lost three people in a housefire - it was too dangerous to get them out in time. Back then there was no counselling for this, you just hung up your gear and went home. Nowadays fatalities are handled much differently...

03/09/10 - Burlington fire fighters battle a fully involved house fire at 624 Grace Avenue early Tuesday morning. This same house caught fire on January 14, 2010 after a space heater ignited nearby combustibles, no word on a cause, but officials are investigating. (Brad Coville/Times-News
It's better to view these in the Police and Fire Set (at right) where they appear in chronological order.
(I just didn't have time to process and upload these all at time, in sequence shot.)
House fire one night in Hagerstown, a city near the Appalachian Mountains in Western Maryland. Everyone ok but house nearly totaled. Print Size 13x19 inches. HTT.

On our way to an exploration of an old soap factory, we came across this blazing multi-alarm fire. For more on the fire/our excursion go to my Picasa site.
A weekend abandoned house hunting adventure found us this little gem. Not much left of this sweet little farmhouse... it suffered terribly in a first floor fire and the second floor and roof were all but gone.
One of the jobs I had as a Navy Photographer's Mates was being on call at night to do forensic photography. This shot was taken of a fire in a home on the U.S. Naval Air Base in Burmuda in 1980 late at night. I was 20 years old. All electricity was out and a group of locals followed me around with a failiing flashlight to give me something to focus on in the pitch black. In total darkness, I took pictures focusing on where the light fell. It was entertaining to see all the people in the room after the film was processed. I had no idea there was anyone other than the guy holding the flashlight. I captured some funny images, but my boss wasn't too happy with the forensic results. lol

Intense was the only word that came to mind as this old house became fully engulfed. And I mean fully.

There was lots to celebrate today. It was my better half's birthday, it was father's day. and it looked like we would have a nice sunset. My wife was the first to notice the smoke one street over and minutes later we heard the sirens. It was just around the corner and thankfully, dear God, thankfully, everyone was able to get out.
