This from Steve Redick:
I was lucky enough to be able to attend a live-fire training exercise at a vacant motel complex in Niles recently. I got some really nice images and wanted to share a few plus a short video.Steve

This from John Tulipano:
I had a great opportunity to attend a NIPSTA live-fire training drill at a vacant motel in Niles on Friday, along with Steve Redick and Tim Olk. What a great opportunity as a fire photographer to get some great images while watching the young candidates were put through their paces.

This was an excellent opportunity for candidates…priceless in terms of seeing fire behavior, reading the smoke, etc. Also the perfect setting to practice multi company ops/”tying it all together.”

That’s great video footage Steve. Thanks for posting it. Around when was it filmed?
