I've been documenting wildfires since the 2013 Rim Fire burned through my backyard. Since that time, I've taken S-110 Basic Wildland Fire Orientation, S-130, L-180 and S-190 Intro to Fire Behavior. I own all necessary PPE to safely document fires. I live in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) and while other photojournalists drop into cover fires, I live under their constant threat. On occasion, I've had to cut my coverage short so that I could return home to collect my dog(s) and belongings to evacuate. This is an evergreen collection of images from a variety of wildfires throughout California and Nevada, including Caldor Fire, Windy Fire, Carr Fire, Rim Fire, Ferguson Fire, Donnell Fire, Moc Fire, Line Fire, Marshes Fire and others. For additional fire images, please visit my archives. (https://tracybarbutes.photoshelter.com/gallery/Fires/G00002QNTG3IuHgU)

An evergreen collection of commercial photography jobs. On occasion, I take commercial photography and real estate assignments.
