The business end. This little beauty makes a heck of a racket.

Popeye is our mascot. I wish I could make the turnout gear reflect better in the door. Maybe more lighting on the turnout gear is the key?

Very good shots, but I really like the last one best.

I love these shots! My dad was a firefighter for 32 years and i remember all of what you've captured, the gear, the bell, the big red truck! I remember him letting me and my twin sister sit in his lap and honk the horn when we were little thanks for those memories! maybe you could get one of the pole ha ha that was always my favorite part of visiting my dad's fire station! nice work Kimi

Unfortunately we don't have a pole. I think the reason we don't is because it's an all volunteer station (probably more because it's only one story). But poles are actually missing from most modern firehouses due to the number of sleepy firefighters that have fallen through the hole. They are making a comeback in some areas of the country.

Ha ha oh well it's a good thing they're being done away with if there were sleepy firefighters getting hurt! still great shots with or without a pole!
