In late January, I was returning home from supper when I noticed alot of red and blue lights up on Division Street, so I drove up Jackson Street to investigate and found a house on fire, police on the scene awaiting the arrival of the fire department. As I was photographing the smoke pouring from the front door, and from the rear of the house wrapping around the home, Jim Bartle from the paper walked up…I told him there was more fire at the back of the house but access to that side was limited, he walked around the other side to check it out while I stayed at the front and continued to shoot….

Luckily the FD made a quick stop on the fire that evening…
