Firefighters
An unforgettable journey through the daily
lives of the brave men and women who have made saving lives
their profession.
Dennis Smith, author of Report from Engine Co. 82, traveled
across the country talking to dozens of America's firefighters
to put together this powerful collection of their own
descriptions of their most dramatic and intense experiences on
the job. Their stories, compiled here, are timeless testimonies
to the human capacity for heroism and nobility.
Focusing on the most courageous firefighters, from those who
have been decorated for heroism to those who have been seriously
injured, Firefighters presents the
extraordinarily rich and rugged voices of men and women who
fight urban building fires, who battle sweeping forest fires,
who perform emergency rescues, and who face extreme danger and
risk as part of their everyday lives. Sometimes brave, sometimes
funny, sometimes bittersweet or filled with anger, these voices
combine to make Firefighters both a riveting adventure drama and
a moving chronicle of American heroism at its finest.
Little
Red Book of Firehouse Pranks
A collection of classic tales about America's greatest
pranksters in action. This book details an aspect of the fire
service that the public rarely sees. Teams of
firefighters working 24 hour shifts on an organized
fire department can often be a very stressful experience. And
traditionally, starting way back in the early days of the horse
drawn apparatus, the fire guys have tried to wind down back at
the firehouse by plotting some of the damnedest pranks on their
fellow firemen. That's what this book is all about. A must read
for every rookie firefighter and a sure giggle for any old
timer.
