Okay, I found some time to work up a few more photographs and gather some information on the fire I photographed Sunday. The call was dispatched around 10:20 a.m. for Oak Flat Road, West Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County. The first arriving chief reported a working fire. Fire apparatus from Newville, Walnut Bottom, Penn Township and the Cumberland Valley Hose of Shippensburg responded to the fire. Firefighters only operated inside for a short time before being removed because of rapidly deteriorating conditions. At that point the fire was battled from the outside. I arrived about 25 minutes after the initial dispatch and the first few photos I recorded with heavy fire showing were taken right away. Within minutes the bulk of the fire was knocked down and overhaul was started. The ranch style frame house was a complete loss.
The last photograph was my first attempt at using textures. I learned I need to expand my texture library and that I need more practice at doing it. It did not come out exactly as I had hoped by I can't wait to try it on some photos from the battle of the Buldge later this month. The video is short and like I said yesterday I forgot I was using it for something else so it is not in high definition. If you turn up the volume you can hear sounds from the fire ground.

Great photos Brad. I caught another fire on the way home from work. A car fire, but still. I'll be posting that tomorrow.
When is the Battle of the Bulge?? Is that in Carlisle at the Army Heritage Center??
