Most of the time, getting the news means you were in the right place at the right time.
For a photographer, that particularly rings true, because if you’re not there, you miss the shot. On Sunday, our photographer was there outside a Goodwill store in North Stafford as smoke billowed out of the building due to a fire in a trash compactor.
Our photographer, Mary, sent me the shot from the scene, as well as statements from witnesses who she spoke with — many of whom were standing around watching the commotion as fire crews worked to douse the blaze.
I always appreciate receiving photos from Mary, and from you. Please email them to us at news[at]potomaclocal.com.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a paid subscriber to Potomac Local News.
