what do you guys bring to a scene

[michaeld120]

Hey guys, new to the site. Spent a year as a PFF with my local volunteer fire company before deciding I probably should have started 20 years sooner, and now I'm the photographer. So far just shooting events but will be running crew again (yay!) and shooting scenes soon (once I trade my probie gear for photog gear). Also curious as to the best gear for fire scene photography. Wish I could have sprung for a 5DMk4 but budget led me to the 80D instead. All I have right now for glass is the 28-135mm zoom. Renting the 24-105mm f/4L, and was thinking the 24-70 f/2.8 might be better, but now that I think about it, that lens might be better for apparatus shots (although I would love some advice there as well). Now I'm leaning towards the 70-200mm f/2.8 (if I can sell a kidney) for shooting on the fireground.

 

Thanks and I've enjoyed the pics I've seen on the site so far.
