Spot news can be a tricky thing. Sometimes it can be 50 miles away, and you try your hardest to get there in time to make a good picture.
It’s always nice when the news happens within walking distance.
When I pulled into work today, I noticed some smoke south of the OPUBCO building.
I grabbed my equipment and ran that way, which was actually a pleasant experience. If you haven’t seen the OPUBCO campus, it’s really quite lovely.
I called the Oklahoma City fire department, and waited around for about 15 minutes for them to arrive. All the while I was taking photos, of course.
I couldn’t help but take some humorous photos of the firefighters battling the blaze with the glorious OPUBCO building in the background.
Good times.
