I hope everyone has a safe, and wonderful Christmas!

My wife and I both have to work...

A couple of months ago I switched to working 3rd shift, 6 days a week, so the photography is really going to slow down.
There was call last week just as I was about to leave for work, and one the other day I got while sleeping...the page isn't dead, I am just missing the opportunities presented to me.
So please bear with me as I try to add content.

I got a text from dispatch for a fire call tonight at 8:15 pm. I grabbed my gear, hopped in the car and drove to Osceola.
Turns out there was no active fire, just some smoke.
I heard there was a problem with the electrical grid down south, and something must have happened when they switched it back on, but I'm not sure.
No active fire means no loss of life or property, so that's good...and my gear doesn't stink after these kind of calls, haha.

A scheduled burn of a vacant residence to make way for a developer. The land will end up with new cookie cutter homes, with different colored frosting. It’s a shame too, that is a really nice property.
The department did some training with the ultra high pressure apparatus today, with three different teams knocking down three different fires, then an attack simulation on an old shed. It was a hot fire, with my phone shutting down due to overheating multiple times trying to live stream. I ended up sitting in the ambulance trying to cool due to myself overheating…I am old and out of shape, it was nothing medical.
The team stayed safe with no medical needed, a huge thank you to everyone who kept us all hydrated and went around making sure everyone was good to go, you are all appreciated.
And thank you to Cas Seyffert of Pyro HMA Ultra High Pressure Fire Suppression for coming out today and sharing his knowledge of the UHP apparatus.
Another awesome day with the Osceola Fire Department.

I am no videographer, I just point the GoPro and hope for the best, lol.

What you see here, and what I send the department are different. The fire was contained within the plant, so I was not able to photograph any of the actual fire…I just got some images for the department, showing where, and who was there, fire ground stuff. Image wise, they’re pretty boring, but I love what I do and have no complaints…but the photographer part of me always wishes to see some action.
The photos I send the department are documentation photos, so I have a little more fun with what I post publicly.

At 6:01 am this morning, a call went out for a fire at the Osceola Foods (Hormel) plant, with 5 departments, the sheriff’s department, Osceola Police and Clarke County Hospital responding. The fire was extinguished, and there were no injuries.
Thank you to the Osceola Fire Department, Murray Volunteer Fire Department - Murray, IA, Creston Fire Department, Weldon Volunteer Fire Department, Woodburn Volunteer Fire Department, Clarke County Sheriff's Office, Osceola, Iowa Police Department, and Clarke County Hospital for their services today.

Please feel free to save, share, and tag anything you like, all I ask for is credit for my images when shared or reposted - thank you.
