On my way home on Friday I noticed the fire department’s grass fire unit go by towards some smoke in the distance. I took a shortcut and actually got there before the truck, just to find a grass fire next to the surburb of Overbaakens. 
There were three crew members in the truck and they got the hose out very quickly and started working on stopping the fire from getting to the houses. I took this pic litterally moments before the truck nearly ran over me. I was standing right up against the truck to get the pic when the fireman (not seeing me there) decided to pull it forward. Thank goodness for my catlike reflexces. *wink*
Here the fireman firelady is doing her thing with hose in hand
It's so hot in SA at the moment, going to be lots of fires…They didn't mind you stopping and clicking away at them at work??
You are like the Ace reporter Jonker.
Firemen stop for no one!Glad your a quick one.Perspective is very interesting on that first one.
This is why we don't stand in front of a vehicle that has someone in the drivers seat. Great photo in spite of it all!

If there is one thing I do not like and that is veld fires. I have had to put enough of them out in the bush to last me a lifetime.
YOU LOST 7KG'S AND YOU ONLY TELLING ME THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL, that's how I feel and then I gained!! *giggle* but it's coming off…am working hard to make sure it does.
Excellent photos, I love it!!! The first one with the truck is awesome, some of your best work yet. Glad you didn't get run over though – you probably also have nine lives? 🙂
Great shots!!! You captured them at their job telling their story perfectly.
