Mansfield's Harvest International's refrigerator's failing

I havent been able to post some of the photos from the assignments that I shot this week because the stories havent run yet, however, on Wednesday I photographed Harvest International founder Gregory Dewbrew for a story about how the charity's refrigerators started to fail. They had already lost a pallet worth of lettuce, and were moving as much food as possible to a refrigerated trailer.

Dewbrew said that they had managed to install a new compressor and evaporator coils in this unit Tuesday night, but that the three other freezers and refrigerators where unable to stay cold. Dewbrew said that the units were all donated used 15-20 years ago.

They are also using a refrigerated trailer as a temporary measure until a permanent solution can be found.

Water rescue training at Fort Worth Naval Air Station

I shot this a week ago, but just now had the time to post it. The 457th Fighter Squadron, 305th Rescue Squadron, were fulling their aircrew qualification training requirement for water survival and rescue on Lake Worth Sunday, July 11, 2010. The squadron participated in the rescue of hundreds of people from New Orleans in the after math of Hurricane Katrina.
