Chuck Lowe is a career firefighter in Cambridge Mass and the director of support services at Incidentpage.net. On his days off he is Mr Mom to his 2 awesome kids.

Chuck has loved all aspects of photography since getting his Pentax K1000 back in the late 80s. He has been documenting the history of the fire service since then with his primary focus being apparatus. He just has too much on his plate to chase fires.
