Tonight was the Sedgwick County Emergency Management (SCEM) Volunteer Appreciation Banquet at the WFD RTC.
I was awarded the above and beyond award from SCEM for my photos and my dedication with me taking my bicycle when needed.
Thanks to SCEM for your support.

Here are a couple fire apparatus photos from when I visited the Boston area in 2022, and Milwaukee area in 2023 for the annual International Fire Buff Associates - IFBA conventions.

As this is a new platform for me, I will reintroduce myself. My name is John Hooper Jr, I am a emergency services photographer and freelance photojournalist who covers what's happening from Wichita to, KCMO, Tulsa and OKC.
Below are some of my photos from the over the years.

Damage surveys from the NOV 18th early morning tornadoes in SW Oklahoma are complete

The state is now at 30 tornadoes for the month, and 144 for the year. That's 3rd most in a year behind 2019 (149) and 1999 (145) !! 🌪️🌪️🌪️
