FIRE ETC.

Across the street from my school in Barrio Logan is a business named Fire Etc. which sells used fire equipment. Over the past 4 years, my colleagues and I have witnessed the deliveries of their unique acquisitions ranging from extinguishers to vintage fire trucks and ambulances. As I was walked passed their front office last week, I happened to have my camera with me, and I thought it might be worth a shot to venture into their yard. After being granted permission from one of their associates, I began to explore the variety of equipment and emergency vehicles that they had collected over the years. Sitting inside some of these vehicles brought a unique nostalgia to mind, and I couldn’t help but imagine what the firefighters and emergency responders may have witnessed as they were called upon duty.
