Images of children and the fire service

I spent some time today at the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD (IL) 75th Anniversary Open House. I was photographing the event and concentrating on the fire department’s interaction with public. What could be easier than trying to capture great images of children and the fire service.

Here are but a few images from the many that I was able to capture.

It’s easy to capture a great image when you add 1 part small boy and 2 parts firefighter gear. Larry Shapiro photo
