Milton Flea Market fire photos

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and brought down my business.

I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well.

The fire started at 11AM just a few miles west of our office this morning. I saw the smoke on the way in, but didn't realize what it was at first. Some 'before' photos can be seen at miltonfleamarket.com.

This first image is a super-high-res panorama:

Please tell me you got a close up of the Hurricane Fire and Resuce sign on the side of the fire truck

I work in Hurricane - I really need to go around and get shots of all of the signs everywhere. I already have shots of the signs for Tornado 5 miles away.

Unfortunately this is all I was able to get. I didn't find out about the fire until after 1PM, at which point it was over with.
