2008.07.21

Yesterday, after spending much time resting and studying my Bible, I was suffering from a huge allergy induced headache and reading a missionary biography when the tones went off. I had not yet responded to a call since I had been given a pager but I had quite gotten the hang of the routine calls. Last night it was the town next to us asking for a tanker from my town. I figured it must be for real and was probably a house fire. I was right.
I got there and found out that it was indeed a house fire but you could not see the house from the road so I only have a couple images of flames taken from a distance. I found out that I need to work on my nighttime photography but that fire trucks present an interesting challenge in the dark. They were still fighting it when I left after standing around for about 2 hours.






Believe it or not, as nervous as I was this was just what I needed to pick up my camera again.
