Your Bio
The following galleries feature the fire photography of Chris and Bill Tompkins. The photos mainly cover jobs in the Northern New Jersey and Metro New York City area.
We would like to thank all the members of the Fire Departments (and from time to time Police Officers) who have extended us courtesies on the fireground to make these photos possible.
All of the galleries are listed by date. If you would rather view by municipality, just use the search above by typing in the name of the town.
While this site is mainly for information purposes, all of the photos are available for sale. Click on the shopping cart for information on photo sizes and gifts available and prices. If you are a member of the Department shown in the photo and want to purchase a copy, please contact Bill at peterscamera@optonline.net for a discounted price.
Thanks, and be safe
Please check back often, this site is under construction and will be for a while. Thirty years of fire photos will be on this site. It will take time to finish. So please be patient.
NOTE: Please excuse the low quality scans of the earlier fires. We are still trying to set up the format of the website. First we wanted to list every year (done). Then we are setting up galleries of each fire in each of those years (done). And now we are adding more photos to each gallery. (DONE BACK THROUGH 1994) Eventually all galleries will have more photos and at much higher quality. Please bear with us. Thanks.
