help is on the way

there was trouble in the 'hood...

i was walking home, when i heard a rumbling behind me... i turned just as the siren came on - put my camera up - snap... paramedics on the way to help someone and my first shot of an emergency vehicle.

i believe it's a wonderful thing that we have men and women willing to serve in such a capacity... to help - to give of themselves - to assist their neighbors in times of trouble... when they're hurt or in distress.

in this case, it turned out that a little boy had sprained an ankle playing in an alley - the other kids with him had called 911 not knowing what else to do. turns out that was exactly the right thing to do - good for them. i would've loved to get the men in action... all decked out in their overalls, looking manly - buff - cute and whatnot... but with the kids around then you have to be concerned with getting permission so i decided not to fuss with it and stick with only the truck instead.

happy day.....
