Saw some billowing smoke from the side of the road and obviously I headed towards it then away... Grabbed the E-P2 and my Leica and walked right up... I was able to get right up to action armed with a 28mm on the E-P2 and a 50mm on the M6 and an expired 2009 NYPD press pass. Just got my film back....

In due time that first shot's gonna mean something to somebody and you will sell it: the firemen have their names printed on their jackets and someday one of them will be a hero, a captain, or plain simply retire.

Epic shot, congrats!
 
Thanks all..... I used TriX 400 (my favorite so far)... I love the M6... I regret not getting into it earlier... I would of never thought I could use a rangefinder for this type of work.. Although I haven't shot Pro PJ work in over a year. I have defaulted to motor sports and sold the 5D I used to use for personal stuff.. I keep my Leica and my E-P2 with me at all times...
 
An M6 wouldn't survive a real 'hot zone', would it? I mean like a war zone. Maybe the earlier Ms, but the later ones? Yesterday I manhandled an M6 in MapCamera and it seemed a bit too precious to me.
