Olmsted Township Fire Department from dlayphoto on Vimeo.
So when I called and asked to come out and get some photos, Olmsted Township Fire welcomed David Lay and I with open arms. Our mission was to show what would happen when 5 guys were no longer there to keep the fires out and get the sick to the hospital. I was shooting the stills, David was shooting the video. We wanted to show you the faces of the men leaving, because they are not just a number on a community's spread sheet, they are a person, with a family, and with a major mission to serve the community regardless of the politics involved with their employment.
Take a look at the video, share it, because this is a problem in not only the small community of Olmsted Township, but all over the United States. Awareness is what will save us.
awesome video, thank you for doing this. We need them all.
ReplyDeleteThis is my township emergency service who have been to my home many times when my Mother was very ill. Each time they were here quickly and kept her alive with care and tenderness while doing their job. I vote for every issue that comes up for them. I would think that finacial cuts should be made in a way that will not endager the public. We vote in the people who are deciding on this.
ReplyDeleteWE WILL HAVE A LONG MEMORY IF YOU PUT US ALL IN DANGER...I PROMISE THIS.
