All in a fireman's day.

A golden-oldie here from a slide. Taken when a local mill building caught fire some years back.

A new lease of life for our CWP 'The Daily Work' competition.

Still nice full size.

Herb Riddle replied to Colin Ashcroft:

Ah Colin, you bring me news that I did not know about. We did see black smoke from that direction from our house window last Monday but did not know what it was. As we dont now take any local newspapers and don't listen to the latest local news radio either we are quite out of touch. -Fletchers Mill -a building we pass often on our way to and from Dovestones. My father once worked there too. I think most if not all was still empty/derelict now but they have built a fancy holiday park nearby. My photo was taken many years back and was of Dunkerly's Mill in Lees. Thanks for the call and info.

Wow! A brilliant action shot Herb................the flames and the clouds of smoke and the firemen up on the ladder make a very dramatic scene!

Excellent reportage!

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

A golden oldie here from me Keith and it reminds me, sadly, of how little of this kind of shooting I do nowadays. One has to go that extra mile for these and as I get older it all seems like too much trouble. Of course, delighted that you enjoyed it.

Cheers. Herb

A cracking Image Herb perfect for CWP I think they will need a lot of water to put that out.

Thanks Toz, as I say to Keith above, not many of this kind from me nowadays. Glad you liked it. It may works for the CWP but we will have to see.

Cheers. Herb

Yes, quite a sight at the time. The building still stands and nobody was hurt.
