Here's some shot's of mine........ Again they didn't leave me any fire..... Another good stop by PFD.....

The view from down the street.......

Ladder 1 - Poughkeepsie's rear-mount aerial was set-up in the front of the structure.

Now that the fires out, Interior crews talk about the attack....

Up close and personal......The photographer for the Poughkeepsie Journal does a video interview with PFD Chief Ken Boyd. (The video link was posted prior to PoJo's web site). The internet has changed the way newspapers have to do business to remain competitive and one thing that they have adopted as a result is the addition of video to their web offerings. The camera being used is a Canon G(9?) point & shoot which has a video mode and is an excellent application for this camera for their intended use.

Firefighters get their equipment ready for the next incident....

Chief Boyd explains to the Journal photographer what happened.

Say cheese....... PFD Deputy Chief Decker and his men watch at the rear of the structure as their fellow firefighters do over-haul.

The view from the rear..... They had a lot of fire from the #2 floor in the rear when they arrived....

Firefighter remove a dog from the structure that unfortunately perished in the fire.

Firefighters take a break from overhauling in the attic....... The fire had just begun it's migration into the attic upon PFD's arrival.....Clearly a great stop.......
