I have some very sad news to report. Firepics member Don Feipel passed away this morning, after a short battle with cancer. I had the privledge of shooting with him this past March, while we were both in Florida. He was not feeling well, but still wanted to go out and shoot a few more. He had many friends and trading partners in the apparatus photo community, and will be missed .

Never met the man but I enjoyed his photos and appreciated his knowledge of fire apparatus. God Bless his soul and may god be with his family and friends.....

Mechanical engineers build weapons, whereas civil engineers build targets.
When the man at the door said," Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms", I, naturally assumed it was a delivery!

Sad to hear. I had the privilege of meeting the Commish in Florida a few years ago for some photos. Great person. RIP!
This is sad news, Don was instrumental in getting me involved in fire apparatus photography. Rest in peace!

Rest in Peace. I always looked forward to his photos.
RIP.
I think for a while, he posted more photos on this site than anyone. I had wondered why he hadn't posted in a while. He will be missed. RIP Don.
