Perspective Photographs
April 20, 2007
Generally, the photos that you see here come from firefighters at the scenes. However, occasionally we receive photos from the publics perspective and we greatly appreciate them. Below are photographs of 2 ‘B’ shift firefighters at a large grass fire in Leander that occurred in February of 2007. The photos were taken by Gail Millard. Gail was a passenger on the Hill Country Flyer that afternoon. As the train returned to it’s station, it had to pass through the fire, giving Gail the opportunity to snap two great pictures. Thanks Gail !
