2011 Updates

Though it has been quite sometime since we have made any updates to SoCalFirePhoto. This year we are planning on branching out into new fields though still holding the same name. Most recently I had the opportunity to cover the Global Rally Cross races at the Toyota Speedway of Irwindale. The gallery website is taking on a new look and some things have moved so feel free to take a look around to find your favorite pictures. Also we are planning on adding at least one new photographer to the site Ryan Ling of FireLinePhoto.com should be joining the sites space displaying his work. Thank you for your continuing support and check back often for updates.

Largo Vista Brush Fire

LACoFD and ANF responded to a reported brush fire in the area of Largo Vista Road and Big Pines Highway to find a 15 acre fast moving fire in heavy brush with extreme temperatures and low RH. The fire grew to 120 acres at its final size and is now 100% contained. The cause of this fire is under investigation by the USFS who is the managing agency.

New photos and video now available

SoCal Fire Photo is busy in full swing with the busy season of brush fires in Southern California. The fire season already so young has taken us all over from Kernville to Palmdale for some major fires. New photos are up the Briggs Fire and Crown Fire both major fires in Los Angeles County. We now have a youtube page at: www.youtube.com/socalfirephoto as we shoot the footage we will make sure that we keep this page updated with the newest footage of what we are covering. Stay tuned as always for more updates.

So Cal Fire Photo on YouTube

So Cal Fire Photo has started shooting video at scenes with that we are now going to be posting them to the following site :http://www.youtube.com/user/SoCalFirePhoto

The video on the site is from LAFD's Air Ambulance in 77's first-in with plenty more to come check back often.

LAFD 77's Air Ambulance

SoCal Fire Photo has been semi busy though we have not done all that we can to keep to up to date on our blog. Please check the website often as we have been adding incidents. Tonight we had an Air Ambulance: 7 y/o male being treated after large metal fence fell on him; patient suffered head injury. L/Z is located at Sherman Way and Fair ( Sun Valley Middle School). We just covered Fire Service Day at Burbank Fire and Glendale Fire, and it seems with tradition that we get a brush fire every year on that date too (San Ysidro I/C).

Look to our website soon for shots from the "Hope for Firefighters" event held by LAFRA and LAFD in downtown Los Angeles to support the family and fire fighters themselves over injuries and LODD.

Thank you again for all your continuing support
