Boston, MA approx 1000 hrs. 5/21/02. American-LaFrance representatives demonstrated a Freightliner/ALF Rescue for Boston Fire Commissioner Paul Christian.

The vehicle will enter service within the next few weeks, and will be a dedicated spare, backing up the 5 new E-One/Salisbury Rigs.

Brookline, MA 24 Milton Rd., approx. 1000 hrs. 4/27/02. Brookline firefighters made a good stop on a basement fire in a 2 story wood frame structure. These photos aren't as action packed as some that appear on the site, but I have been waiting for an opportunity to try out my new Olympus C-4040. I had just arrived home from an uneventful night in New York City when this job came in, and since it was only about a mile from my apartment, I decided to take it in. The images that appear here are of a lesser quality than the actual images due to size limitations, but I can say that the actual digital images rival my 35mm shots, and 8X10's printed from the actual images (about 3MB in size each) are of a frameable quality.

Medford, MA 3 & 7 Capen St, 46 Winthrop St. approx. 1500 hrs. 3/29/02. A fire that reportedly started in two motorcycles that were parked under a rear porch spread rapidly and involved three dwellings and a garage. Four alarms were sounded in relatively rapid succession on box 43, bringing mutual aid from six surrounding communities.
