School Bus Driver Training and Bus Maintance Yard Fire

Shot a bus school bus driver training this week for work. This is my favorite frame for the day. The district works with the Yuba City Fire Department and fills up a school bus with fake smoke so that the drivers can experience what a bus fire would be like. Ironically the next day the school bus yard for the district caught on fire. The last 2 frames are from that fire. You can read the story here that ran in the Appeal-Democrat.

burnt

Here are the results of that house fire a few weeks ago. I happened to be near it today on my way to a flipped car in a drainage ditch. I'm not the biggest fan of accident photos. You can see my attempt in the last photo. I hate invading peoples lives at these times. It's always makes me feel like a vulture.

the biggest fire i've ever seen

Here's some spot news I shot last week for the Appeal-Democrat. This house in one of the real rural areas of Sutter County became engulfed in flames do to the fact that the fire department could not get enough water to the area in time. The story can be seen here.
