My brother (who is a firefighter) happened to be visiting home with his gear in his back trunk. He agreed to pose but only let me take 3 pictures. The smoke is from my fog machine and I just found the two panels being spread apart in my garage.
Every part of the gear is correct except for the breathing mask because it was in the cleaner at the fire station. You might notice the mask used is also in my 'broken' picture.
Now here's a thought: "Strange smoke coming from the Lawrence garage, and look there is a fireman not doing anything, why is that long-haired boy taking pictures of him?" :O

while this may not be in perfect focus I feel it works well. I thik it is a bit obscure in fitting the challenge. Yet with a moments thought it fits perfectly. I love the power and emotion in this shot. I thinkhowever I would have liked more smoke and fire to add to the sence of empending danger. Very nice shot keep up the great work.
