Howard City Fire Department

Had an opportunity to work with the Howard City Fire Department last evening as they did a ‘control burn’ of an old barn.

I am always looking for opportunities to gather stock video.  The ‘controlled burn’ was ideal in the fact there were no lives trying to be saved.  No critical structures to save.   Which from this video producers mind provided the perfect chance to capture digital video and photos.  My heart would not like to obtain footage that I would profit from off of someones loss.  Thank you Howard City Fire Department for this opportunity.

While capturing the video it occurred to me how beautiful the fire was.  The way it moves, sways and dances about.  Even the destruction of the barn, the frame and foundation were wonderful to watch and capture.  Again, for me it was because there was no real loss.  No body loosing a family treasure and more importantly… no one in harms way.  I know, must be a softy.  This is why I would not be good as a news reporter.  I care to much.

Take a minute and watch for yourself, Howard City Fire Department – Controlled Burn.
