Many of you know and care deeply for Tim Olk, a friend, colleague, and an important part of our fire service family. Today, Tim is undergoing some medical procedures, and we’d like to ask that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Tim has spent countless years showing up often at all hours of the day and night to capture powerful images of the fire service in action. He’s been there for so many of us, documenting our work with dedication, respect, and heart. He’s always been behind the lens, telling our stories.

Now, it’s our turn to be there for him. Please keep Tim and his loved ones close in your heart today, and join us in wishing him strength, healing, and a smooth recovery.
