Cindy Devone-Pacheco, FireRescue
Hello, Joe:
My name is Cindy and I am one of the editors for FireRescue magazine. We really like the photos you posted about the "Case Study: Small fire in basement" and I was wondering if we could use one to complement an article that we'll be posting today? If so, please let me know. We will of course, list you as the photographer. Thank you.
