A few Pittsburgh Fire Bureau photographs I took

Here are some decent pictures I took while recently in Pittsburgh that are more firefighter related. Pittsburgh's iconic black and gold theme even resonates down to their fire plugs.

The crazy random ramblings of....

I wish I had a camera the other night. It was a sweet looking ride in the captains seat of the engine, right behind the ladder, at midnight on a moonlit night on the empty city streets on the way to a working structure fire. Continue

A great mans point of view....

And I am adopting it as my own. No, I will not adopt it, I am it! I have lived it for as long as I can remember. The following is a speech NRA President Charlton Heston gave to the Harvard Law School Forum on February 16, 1999. I remember my son when he was five, explaining to his kindergarten class what his father did for a living. "My Daddy," he said, "pretends to be people." There have been quite a few of them.

This is what can come of Vision 20/20

I believe if Vision 20/20 becomes reality, this is only part of what we can start seeing here in the states, and becoming a part of. Just think, nation wide Public Service Announcements such as this could really get the message across! Another topic, all though off base of Vision 20/20, could be how to properly let an emergency vehicle pass.

Firefighters gathering at Primanti's?

Ughh.....sustenance awaits me(Insert iconic Homer Simpson drool here). I feel I must make the short trip into the city soon. If anyone knows what and where this is, the original one in the Strip District, I'd love to meet up for lunch some weekend soon and talk shop(firefighting, Steelers, Penguins, Pitt, duh!). And holding it around lunch time means the legally under aged amongst us may attend as well. Maybe if it catches on we can make it a once in a while thing, amongst a group of us? I.e. on… Continue
