SkyWatch Friday on Thursday, how can that be? Last week I made my first post on SkyWatch Friday and at that time I let my regular viewers know what it was all about. But I bet you didn't expect it on a Thursday this week did you, neither did I . After speaking with a friend at work that has participated in SkyWatch for a few weeks now I learned that this was not started in the USA and that it actually begins on Thursday for us. That being said I declare it Skywatch Friday on Thursday in Pennsylvania.I guess I forgot about the photograph. This was taken July 31, 2006 in downtown Shippensburg. For the second time in 18 years a multiple alarm fire struck this building in the first block of East King Street. In the photograph Trucks 53 and 1 operate elevated master streams into the fire from their Emergency-One tower ladders. I don't know why but the photograph looked much better in print, when I uploaded it the colors in the sky seemed to wash out, the sky has more red in the printed photo.

My SWF : The gateway to Heaven Thanks
Brad: A wonderful capture of a touh time. Glad you returned to SWF.
An unusual image for skywatch but very appropriate. Humans pour much into our sky and billowing smoke and flames from fires are just one of them.
Very nice:)
Petunia's SWF
Very appropriate for Sky Watch, Brad. And, you caught some action from the fire department, too. Well done.

I really liked the sky in this, then I seen what the photo was all about...so I still like the sky but hate to think of fire anywhere.
Terrific take on a skywatch image. What I like about skywatch is it brings you to blogs you may not have come across before, like yours.
What a dramatic photo! Thank you for your work as a fire fighter.
Really neat action shot!
Nice Photo Bradley...Your making the rest of us Truckies look good...

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, the photo is a combination of ssmoke rising from the buildings, the cloudes in the sky and the red is coming from the sun trying to shine through it all.
Great capture!
