I have been a firefighter/first responder for over 10 years, currently on the Rockaway Borough FD as the Rescue Captain. My photo interests date back to when I was 16 in high school and have continued since. I would like to thank a few people for their guidance in the beginning days of my fireground photography. Mike Coppola, Adam Alberti, and Tommy Bilancia get a lot of credit for the quality of photos I take today, THANKS GUYS!

11-7-09 Dover Vehicle vs Building : Dover, NJ 37 Route 46.  A elderly gentleman traveling eastbound on Rt.46 and suffered a medical emergency and drove his mini-van across the highway into a occupied garage striking one of the main support beams of the structure.  Dover FD responded and extricated the victim who succumbed to his injuries.  I/C initiated shoring of the bldg, but realized a need for more technical help as the large structure was in danger of collapse.  A UASI Collapse Rescue assignment was requested bringing in Morristown, Elizabeth, Newark, Hackensack, and Paterson's UASI Rescue trucks to assist.  Shoring and cribbing of the building was established to stabilize the structure which was turned over town building enforcement and local officials.
