The existance of these photos was a complete accident; I've been cooped up at home for over a week due to car problems, and I finally made it out to run some errands. I decided to have a leisurely lunch/dinner at a nearby park, and as I was leaving the house, I decided on a whim to grab my camera.

As luck would have it, one of the largest fires the area has seen for a long time started two blocks away as I was finishing my meal. So, I was able to capture the heroic work of the Harrisonburg Fire Department as the event unfolded.

After I narrowed down the location of the blaze, I parked my car and climbed up the nearest hill to figure out exactly what was going on. When I reached the top of the hill, I received my answer; Dave's Recycling had caught on fire.

From this vantage point, I was able to capture my favourite image out of the whole set; two firefighters working together atop Tower 1, the HFD's most well-known apparatus.
