An air tanker divebombs the plume of a blaze. Firefighters haul an injured comrade through a dust storm. The flames of a brushfire light up the jagged face of a red mesa at night. This is the disaster photography of Jayson Coil, the Interim assistant chief for Sedona Fire District and a firefighter on an interagency team that brings him to the most complex disasters around the country. Before Coil was a firefighter, he learned the art and science of photography from his father the old-fashioned way, in a dark room. Years later, in the midst of his career as a first-responder, Coil bought his first digital camera and began bringing it out on the job. His images of the emergencies he encounters bring an artistic perspective to events most only read about in the news.
