Your Bio

Welcome to fyrpix,

My name is Timothy J. Stein aka "Fyrpix"

My interest in the fire service began in 1980 a few years after my father had passed away when a Cudahy firefighter (the community in which I lived) took me under his wing and introduced me to the world of firefighting.

At that time I started taking photographs of area fires and fire departments in southern Milwaukee County until I relocated to Racine County in 1987 where I continue my passion of documenting the histories of area fire departments today.

During the past twenty eight years I have taken thousands of photographs documenting the histories of fire departments in southeast Wisconsin and have been given the rare opportunity as a civilian to be welcomed into a second family and treated as a member of these firefighting families over the years.

Often I am asked by area firefighters how they can get prints of the photographs that I have taken and I hope this site will satisfy their requests.

I hope that you enjoy your visit to fyrpix and please stop back often to see the firefighting action in southeast Wisconsin.
