I heard the tones drop for a structure fire at 384 Landon Road near the old welding shop, so I grabbed my camera and headed that way. Sullivan Fire Department wasn`t far behind me so I pulled over in the parking lot of the welding shop and let them all go by, then hoofed it down to the scene on foot. Turned out to be a large shed on fire, flames visible from Landon Road and I shot the first photo from the gravel lane, an opening in the trees showing the flames….
My buddy, Medic Tim Leasor, with MoBap EMS, took this next photo of the firefighters preparing to attack the fire and bleeding the air out of the hoseline…
..that is Damon Sumpter, the Captain of that crew, on the nozzle…I probably could have got there in time to shoot it as well, but was busy shooting the next photo, a reflection on the side of Pumper 854 that made it appear to be on fire as well…
…and I then walked up and started to photograph the scene…that is Tim ahead of me in the blue outfit…
…and then Damon turned his attention to the house siding, which had melted down from the intense heat of the flames, so he cooled down the siding as well…
…then when the firefighters got the shed doors open, they hit the flames inside the shed and continued to cool things down…
…one of the losses inside the shed was a zero turn mower….
Good job guys !!
