I'm kicking myself right now...

I'm playing a concert at the bayfront, and just watched a boat chase and subsequent boarding by the coast guard...Of course it has to be the one day I didn't bring & camera...but I'll remember it tomorrow and get some pics of the defender and port authority boats.

Hey Mike when did the DEA pick up ,i assume, a fleet of Taruses? Are they being used heavily out there in LA? Are they using the SHO package?

Hey Mike when did the DEA pick up ,i assume, a fleet of Taruses? Are they being used heavily out there in LA? Are they using the SHO package?

No idea about the package, but the FBI, DEA, and ATF all use various fleet vehicles from the ford taurus and crown vic to even these things:

The only way to tell what dept they belong to are by looking for the AEV placard or sticker

(AEV info blocked by dash but were there on this DEA Hummer)

[Xplorer4x4]

Wow I mean I assumed they had all types of undercover cars but didnt realize they used so many marked and unmarked cars. Thanks for the info.

Looks great, you should do the lapd's website photos, espically love the doggy

a quick q, what are the big metal box's that some of the LAFD trucks have towards the rear of the truck there pretty large?

Hey, I bear some pictures from the St. John's Int'l Airshow 2009

Pictured is the Crash truck 4, a paramedic Ambulance, the Equipment truck 10, with a full walk around, the red cross truck, the Rover's SAR truck and the SJRFD ladder truck at the station

SJRFD Ladder

Rover's Volunteer SAR command unit. On scene today, not for SAR, but for show

Red Cross Command unit, with red lights.. However they were off at the time. Red light permits are given out to a lot of volunteer agencies here.. Like the Salvation Army EDS trucks have red lights, the red cross gets them, almost all the Volunteer SAR, and pretty much anyone that asks, and has a good reason. I think most Volly FF's even get them

The trusty Paramedic Ambulance arriving on scene... Had to make a grand entrance, with lights and siren

And later they went over to a little spot, where there was about 6 police cars, a paramedic supervisor/first response SUV, and another ambulance... Sorry no pictures of that...

PS... The lightbar lit up really nice, but out of close to 50 picture I took, I couldn't get a single on where the lightbar was on... I got this, and settled with it. The lights were on the whole time, just the flash pattern makes it hard to get a decent picture

Now Crash 4

Yes you did spot #10 there too!

Walk around

and the team... After they had to move the crash truck... twice... haha

Hi, I was just on facebook, and I forgot completely about pictures from the mock disaster I participated in..

Here they are:

Airport Authority Chief

RNC car, with some people led in the dirt.. And an SJRFD firefighter entering the bus

The SJRFD taking off jackets as the fire was extinguished and Triage was started.. The guy in the back is ARFF, he was there for 45 minutes stood with the hose and SCBA on.. He did nothing until someone told him he could return the hose and assist with triage.. The poor ARFF guys had to stay in full gear minus SCBA for 2 hours in blazing heat.. (forgive the pun)

PS, that's my leg in the bottom left hand side.

One of many pictures facing the units... The two white ambulances are owned by eastern health, the red one is SJRFD, and the two ARFF trucks at St. John's Int'l ARFF... Had to crop to cut out fake injuries and faces... the girl is my friend

This is the triage unit, stored at the bus station. Former city bus

That's it that doesn't have fake injuries shown, or that don't have any Emergency personnel. I have many more, and if you have any question, inlcuding about my injury, feel free to ask

[Ami89E1234]

was at the Great Fire Engine Rally on Saturday downtown right by the Arch, was great, and got some epic shots of STLFD and some others.

i have 37 pics i wanna put up here? can i put them into several posts?

[randomperson139]

I hope you put the pics up soon

[Ami89E1234]

omg, they even had their new H&L 5 there, trust me its the sexiest truck ever

EDIT: im putting in all the pics i took before the parade began

Lambert Airport HAZMAT

STLFD Fire Marshal

some security Gator

STLFD Command Post

lol i took this as i was leaving but it was there before the parade started so it counts . and btw can someone merge the posts since the edit button wasnt working for some strange, perverted reason.

dammit, you mods merge too fast. now nobodys gonna see them since no one looks at old topics lol

[aleksanderwoods]

Here are some pictures from Norway again. You will get more pics soon

Red call is emergency | Yellow call they have to hurry. | Green call - they can drive normal, without lights and sirens.

An ambulance to a red call.

And a police van on patrol.

Question: Whats the best camerasetting(which shutter and aperture) to use when you want the bluelights on the picture? I have canon eos 350D with 50mm 1.8 II, 18-55mm f/3.5 and 55-250mm f/4.5 - 5.6 IS.

please comment! =)

A couple of quick shots from Vejle in Denmark, take a look at my flickr page, that's where all of the picture I take end up. A nice and easy to click link to my flickr.

A Danish ambulance with the new livery.

A Danish Police Ford Mondeo 2.5 Turbo.

To Aleksander: What I have experienced is that LEDs and rotating beacons are easier to catch than strobes.

The settings that I use are 1/250 or 1/320, if I set it under 1/200, there's too much blur. I set my camera for shutter priority.
