From the Chicago Tribune:
Tim Olk was one of two recipients of the 2015 Northbrook Civic Award, presented by the Northbrook Civic Foundation at its annual meeting and awards dinner.
He was among eight individuals recognized for their service to the greater Northbrook community. A professional fire scene photographer, Olk had spent the morning capturing images of firefighters hanging mourning bunting following a tragic incident. He also documented the processional honoring firefighter Daniel Capuano, who passed away while battling a blaze earlier that day.
Olk was nominated for the award by Deputy Chief Tim Smeltzer of the Northbrook Fire Department. Firefighters, including Chief Jose Torres, were on hand to support him. “Tim is a selfless and generous person,†said Chief Torres. “He’s not only well-known locally, but also nationally for his work.â€

Tim has been photographing for over 50 fire departments across the Midwest, including Chicago and Northbrook. He was certified in the 1990s by the Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal to document fire scenes professionally.
He also supports the Northbrook Civic Foundation by capturing events like Northbrook Days, where he has volunteered since he was just 12 years old.
