My name is Chris and I moved from New Jersey to Arizona where I continue my hobby of fire apparatus photography. I first joined the fire service in 1995 back in Fort Lee, NJ. I rose through the ranks of firefighter, engineer, and lieutenant. My father, past Chief of Dept, and two other brothers also were with the Fort Lee FD. I stayed with Fort Lee until I moved to Phoenix, AZ in 2006. Back in NJ I also volunteered with Dumont and then Haworth Fire Department serving at the rank of lieutenant.

Moving to AZ I started with Rural/Metro Fire Department as a dispatcher and am now working for the City of Phoenix as fire dispatcher.

My work can be seen in some department websites, 1stresponder.com, and Fire Engineering Magazine.
