Thought I would share a little of my day in photos!

As we get to the scene, the fire still burns on the trailer

Trailers seem to go up quick, and seem to melt down as well.

Ridge, Hollywood, and Bay District all working the brush burning around the area.

Small things burned in the brush, as the firemen worked hard.

Yesterday

The daily pearls of a Merchant Marine, Many hours of boredom offset by moments of sheer terror.
This is one of the most dangerous jobs anyone can imagine!
Here we have a huge barge being towed by tug approaching its port of call, now the tow must be released from its bridal pennant and moved into push gear.
1. Barge in Tow

2. Tow cable to pennant ( thousands of tons weight could be exerted
here if not properly executed)

3. First remove the nut from shackle pin

6. Pull pin3

7.Pin Pulled ( now pennant only held by stopper line )

8. Pennant Released ( Once the stopper line is released the extreme weight of the tow gear will whip it violently over the side so I used burst mode to get the frames) People have lost life and limb when caught by this line.
