QFRS 526a, 514a, and 521a were called out to a house fire on Oxley Ave, Margate tonight at 1858.

Crews arrived to a lowset fibro house well involved. No occupants were present, and crime scene investigators are on the scene.

As usual the fire crews did an excellent job and had the incident under control within minutes.

I'm extremely glad I spent extra money a year ago and bought a second d70 body. Came in handy tonight ;)

Excellent shooting, Mark.

I love the black and whites, the last image overall being my favourite.

Brilliant.

The last is a winner for me too, Mark. You always seem to know the perfect image to convert to b&w - it's often overdone and cliched. Also good to see you're "back on the horse" :wink:

Great shots again Mark. I must say all your headings often make me think of sadness, don't you guys ever get called out to something amusing like "beautiful model gets cat rescued by firefighters"?

I guess it goes with the territory.... that being said a lot of good things do happen, and mostly to do with little toddlers getting their head/foot/hand etc stuck somewhere because they are curious. I really like shooting these stories as the emergency services people are instantly heroes through the innocent eyes of the child.... I don't post those images though as photos of other people's kids belong in frames on the wall... not on the interent. :)

I am trying to get authorisation to do a model shoot with a few models from Brisbane at a particular station... will be sure to let you know when it happens ;)
