About LinkBacksI took this shot last spring (early May?) and forgot to develop the roll until this past February. Finally got a couple good pics from it scanned in!
This was in a congested part of the Borough of Danielson, about 5 minutes from my house. Mechanic Street in front is very narrow (it's uncomfortable driving down it in a pickup truck if someone comes from the other direction, especially since there's parking on both sides too!), and the house on fire is one of several "back lots" where one house is on the sidewalk, and a second house in the "backyard" is backed up against railroad tracks -- pretty much no spot for master stream from an aerial or pumper. On Bravo side a VFW hall stretches from street to railroad fence. So out comes the 2.5"
They did end up setting up their Tower on the other side of the railroad tracks where it could reach over them, but I'm not sure if they ever flowed water from it.

hey!!! I can see a dragon head or some sort of head in the top of the picture!
You can clearly make out the eyes, nose, and mouth!
Even kinda looks like it is spewing fire out of the side of its mouth. Anyone else see this?

Funny what you see when you first look at things. Originally I saw a tomb stone, in the window to the left of the FF. Now that I look again I see your dragon head too.

I just noticed the tombstone you are referring to...
Of course, if you use your imagination it (the tombstone) could also look like a skull staring at the firefighter.

Hmm...I've got either a wolf or a snake, facing head-on, right above the first firefighter.

Could you dump the Aerial's pipe over the first house ? I think that is what is called a "FIIIIIRRRRRRE"
. Although it has been awhile since I have seen any.

Hi i see the dragon and the tombstone although i dont see the message paul is dead. The one I saw could take some imagination i guess it just depends on what part of the pic you saw first but it looked like a burning fire truck. I guess the way the two windows look compared to the front of a fire engine?? Anyone else see it or am I insane?

I'm still trying to figure out how you guys passed your physc evals.
Apparantly they didn't do the ink blot tests or you'd all still be in there. roflmao
Who remembers those? Draw a house. What's in the house? Is it a happy house? I still have to wonder if there is anyone stupid enough to draw a house in a rain storm.
Anyway, my first image was that of a snake with its tongue out. Its in the smoke in the upper left hand corner.
