Fire Engines Photos

Hi Jason, wasn't there a possibility to get the vehicle out of the building ? I think that would have improved the photos.

The Arabs are too reluctant to show their HSE strength. They said it is for security reason. When i was at Saudi Arabia i used to use the shot&run style when taking the fire appliance photos. Anywhere just try my technique.

Hi Bomba995. It's getting like that here in the UK these days too, with brigades reluctant to invite people onto their so called "Community Fire Stations"
