This weekend I attended the NSW Firebrigade-Firefighter Championships . / These championships are held to develop, maintain & enhance the operational skills of firefighters; Promote a professional image of the NSWFB to the community. This is our local team competing. & of course those not competing, take photographs. / This event being undertaken is the Urban Pump Suction. (I do know how to Google for info).

This is a photo of a typical Sunday morning’s training day for the Langwarrin, Victoria, Fire Brigade taken about 1965. / In front a newly built ( by the volunteers) emergency vehicle, at the rear of the photo, and inside the station, our Country Fire Authority supplied fire truck. I was a member of the brigade then, communications officer my title. We were supplied the truck , training and equipment but we did not receive helmets or any protective clothing, that came later . The team work was great and we had a great fire brigade captain and regional officer . In those days we had no women members but there was a Ladies Auxiliary who supported the volunteers in fund raising and refreshments for the fire fighters. / Canon Canonet 35 mm
Seminole County Florida USA Fire/Rescue station 13, Forest City is just 1 year old, replacing a much smaller station just down highway 436. The station has room for expansion and will soon house a rebuilt antique pumper. Nikon D2H 14mm lens 1/250sec f8 EI200 / “Lucky 13” was featured in Fire Station 9/18/09 /
We’ve just got the one truck, we only have a tin shed and our kitchen is the bar-b-que, a water tank on the side of the shed and we only have the one tap with running water! But we still man our truck and turn out when the pagers sound! We’re a bunch of country boys and girls on the very edge of Geelong, doing our part for the community, our call rate may be small, but we make up for that with dedication!

This is our small local volunteer Fire-station here at Upper Corindi were I live….its celebrating its 10th anniversary today!!! It was thanks to a lovely old lady who owned the piece of land and donated it to them…and who also bequethed money to its running in her ‘will’ that has helped keep it going !!! The first “offical’ fire fought here years ago was done with one donated “nap-sack” and gum bushes!!!

My cousin is a fireman with the city of Washington, D.C. I had wanted to do a series of images from the firehouse. He currently works at firehouse that is one three rescue specializing in hazmat. My last visit to DC, in Fall 2009 allowed me to take advantage of photographing some images. This is just one of the pictures. I am grateful for the special opportunity and the hard work these men and women do!

Former NSW Fire Brigades Bathurst 216 Fire Station. Unfortunately this is looking very sad and as can be seen has been sold off so I imagine this piece of history will soon be lost for ever. I was in Bathurst for work recently and had an afternoon to myself and went for a walk. I came across this poor old soul. There is now a new Fire Station however despite reminding myself at least 50 times I forgot to seek it out for a photo before I left town to return home. Bathurst is a large Rural Town in NSW located at the the Junction of the Great Western and Mid Western Highways. According to WhereIs.com Bathurst is 2hrs 42 mins from Sydney however realisticly it is more likely about 3.5 hours. Bathurst has the world famous Mount Panorama where the V8 Supercars race each year.

Mandurama (pronounced Man-dyoo-r’mah) Fire Station. Part of the NSW Rural Fire Service. Mandurama is a village located on the Mid Western Highway about 40-45 minutes South West of Bathurst. It does not have the normal urban fire protection of the NSW Fire Brigades as the the village is only relatively small and is reasonably close to other urban towns of Cowra and Blayney. I love these ‘Old Shed’ types of fire stations as they show the genuine bush Australian capabilities with just making do, and shows that it’s not all about the equipment but the people make the Brigade too.
