I took in a fire this afternoon in Niles (IL) and arrived after the fire had been extinguished. That left me with a few options for images … the overall scene, apparatus, the aftermath, and environmental portraits.
I actually chose to record all of these subjects, but I’m going to post several portraits showing various faces of firemen after a fire.
