I got to digging around in the CD's looking for a few certain photos and found some old shots of Memphis Fires from years back I took. I figured id share them.



Starting out with this shot of Ken Lawler of E24 at this House Fire on Friday the 13th in Sept of 2002.



This photo still remains as one of my favorites that I have taken.

Whitehaven FD ( used to be a burb of Memphis until annexed in 1970 ) just arriving on the scene of Walgreens and Baker Shoes on Elvis Preseley Blvd. I estimate this fire was around 62-64
