Title: Fire Department Update
Post by: FireChief on October 02, 2006, 01:01:42: Hello everyone,

It has been a while since my last photo story, so here are some incidents that have happened since the water rescue.

Ladder 4 working on the roof of a structure fire.

Engine 3 tending to the victim of a traffic accident.

Thanks,

How did the fire in Winemiler start?

(What do you do with such a fire after you have taken the photos? Do you let it burn out, or try to put it out using water from the playmobilhoses, or do you simply use your gardenhose? :))

Your up photo of the ladder enveloped in smoke is fabulous !!!

I've lost count of the number of fires that you've had, but I'm
beginning to think that you will soon run out of town to burn ... :lol:

I'm really looking forward to seeing your SWAT team in action!

Maybe they'll also find your arsonist ... ;)

Thanks for your great photos, Ben !!!
(And, I hope that you don't mind a bit of teasing.) ... :)

All the best,
Richard

I also wonder like Richard, if you're building for each incident a new building or if you're reusing older ones?

What I also wonder is how quick you're macking your photos? The fire and smoke looks that realistic so I assume that it is realistic. But then I'm wondering how you keep it under control so that no klicky is hurt (i.e. not melt) and fire get's out of control. (Ok, the fire seems to be that small that's difficult to become out of control for a humon guardian, but I mean out of control w.r.t. the intention you had with making the photos a destroying something you wouldn't like to)

Thanks for the comments ;D

Kvart - I usually keep the fires in check with the garden hose.

Richard - I too have lost count of the number of buildings. ??? :-\

Jochen and Richard - I usually make new buildings each time. And I am proud to say that I have never melted a a figure though theres been times though that I've had to move some klickies in a hurry.

Thanks, Ben

So you've had to move a few klickys in a hurry ... :)

That suggests that you may have also had some very warm fingers ... :lol:

Sounds like a rather exciting (but, also potentially dangerous) hobby that you have there, Ben !!!

I think that I would rather take my chances dodging projectiles from Playmobil cannon fired by my Playmobil toy soldiers ... :lol:

Thanks again for sharing.

All the best,
Richard

Do you ever get tempted to change your klickeys over to American style firefighters or are you happy with the look they have ?

Craig

First off, thanks for the comments. ;D

And Yes, I have thought about changing the style of uniforms, but for now the change in helmets will just have to do.
