VIDEO: A volunteer firefighter in Ascension Parish is using his hobby of photography to bring the public into their world.
Blake Stone has what some could call a burning passion for capturing the moment. As a volunteer firefighter, he knows from firsthand experience what it takes to stand on the front lines and serve the community.
"It's a great way to show what we are, who we are, and what we do," Stone said.
With his brand, Southern Fire Photography, Stone is breaking down the barriers between what the public thinks firefighters do, and what they actually go through on a daily basis.
"This is a way for everybody in the public to see what we do on the back side. Because a lot of people just see fire trucks going around and they wonder where are they going?"
