Gateway Fire Photography Fire Apparatus/Station, Incident Scene, and Training event photography in the St Louis metropolitan area. thank you for visiting.

My name is Josh Grubb, I moved to Missouri in February of 2025 from the state of Minnesota. I am a commercial driver at a Sanitation company that is Nationwide. Outside of work, I like to listen to the scanners and take photos of Emergency Incidents, Apparatus, and Stations. I will also photograph department events or trainings on request. I was a Fire and A Police explorer in my teenage years in

Minnesota. Once I learned what a Fire buff was and found a camera I was hooked. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like anymore information on myself, my page or my history.
