FIRE DEPARTMENT PROJECT
During the Summer of 2021, my goal is to photograph the apparatus at every fire department in Otsego County, NY. There are thirty departments in the county, twenty-nine volunteer and one paid department. These photos will be given to the respective department in a digital format, free of charge, and provided to the Otsego County Office of Emergency Services. As I work to photograph each department I will add the portfolio to this page for individuals to view.
