Fire Scene Drawings I

We found these while rummaging through my dads stuff in storage recently. I will be posting the drawings ever couple of days or so. I do not have any more information than what is on the drawings since my dad does not remember them (Alzheimer's). They seem to be fires that happened between 1958 and 1962. In one drawing (not posted yet) there are green dots showing where my dad took pictures from, where those pictures are is unknown. The paper the drawings were on had badly discolored with age and whenever possible I have corrected the colors.

Blueberry passes away

If you ever read the tawdry book "B-Shifter: A Firefighter's Memoir" there is mention of a person known as "Blueberry". If you were anywhere in the vicinity of station 12 in the 90's you would have seen him: A "crazy looking" person decked out in a reflective vest and a pile of "emergency" paraphernalia. That was "Blueberry" or as he was really known as: Robert "Bobby" Lewis Begay.

He passed away on December 17, 2015.
