They look like they need something to do..."I think i'll start a fire somewhere..." (just kidding)...Great catch.

Thanks, everyone. Yes Stefan, good memory! These might be the same crew of guys? I really dont know. These guys in this shot had no idea I was watching them. It was very warm outside so they were enjoying the little breeze there. I was wondering how fast those chairs would fly if the call to go to a fire came in. :o) Maybe they would look like the Keystone Firemen instead of cops.

Well spotted, Shirley. I seem to recall a shot of yours with one of these guys winking through the truck window. Do you stroll by and chat with them? I'll bet they're pretty friendly.

This is street photography at its finest! I love the shot and the implied story behind it. And the brick walls provide the perfect frame.

This one is the "real deal" - authentic, not staged, and just plain awesome.

Hopefully the fireengine door isn't open cause someone is leaving in a hurry...
Good shot - you can feel that these guys have a few stories to tell - it really tells a lot about their teamwork...

The two bald guys look like a couple of Book-Ends! Good catch!
