  Excellent photography. Thanks for the good work. It was nice to see a photo of Chief Kollomay (photo no. 5). Was Chief Hoff on furlough? He almost always shows up in the fire ground photos.

  Appeared to be excellent placement of the tower ladders, one at each corner of the building for maximum coverage.
