Congratulations Wayne Barrall


Hello gang...

This is a email I received today from Firehouse.com. They are doing a 19 page story on 2009 Fire Grants. Most of the photos that they have chosen to use for this story are from Fire in the Hole Photography. The article will run in the February issue of Firehouse Magazine & JEMS Magazine. These are both national publications. If you download the attached PDF file you will see what the article will be like.

We at Fire in the Hole Photography are very proud that they have chosen to use our work for one of their publications....

Wayne Barrall


"Congratulations share and keep this under wraps until the issues actually come out please.

I was asked in a meeting awhile back to submit some photos for use in a grant supplement being done by the FH magazine staff. Apparently I have filed more photographs than the magazine, or so they say.

Attached is a draft copy of a grants supplement that will be found in the February issues of Firehouse magazine and JEMS. Thank you to all of you whose photos I turned in. Nearly 3/4 of the photographs are FITHP, some are mine. If someone would pass this, and my thanks, onto Wayne as well, since I haven’t gotten emails from him in awhile.

On a side note for the future, each of you should consider charging for use of photos in supplements such as this. At first I was told that they didn’t have the budget, but have learned that was incorrect, and Cygnus will pay, especially if they have to meet a deadline.

Thanks and enjoy.

EDITORS NOTE: Wayne Barrall has spent several years of his life donating his time, energy and personal finances providing a free service to a ton of Fire Departments in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. His photography is second to none, as many of you have seen quite a few of his pictures right here on Salisbury News. I can't wait to see the actual magazine once it hits the News Stands because I just know it will be awesome. Congratulations Wayne and while I speak for MANY of the Fire Departments from the Tri-State area we appreciate all that you do. I'm confident you'll hear from many of them here on this Post as well.

Thats great news. Congrats Wayne and FITHP. Wayne and his guys do a great job covering the Fire and EMS stories in our area. The photos are outstanding and worthy of this honor. Your work is much appreciated.

Congratulations Wayne, this award is much deserved. However, I am of the opinion that your photo of the Sharptown Bridge under a full moon is one of your greatest non-emergency situation works. Keep up the good work over there at FITHP.

Well, so much for tact and discretion.

Nonetheless, congratulations again. It's always a pleasure to work with FITHP photographers and their display of the DelMarVa fire services.

The February issue can be found in your local fire departments. Work from various FITHP photographers can be found online.
