Gotta Love Firefighters
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I downloaded this on my new Kindle and my husband really love the text-to-speech feature. It made the book even more interesting. This book tells it the way it is - you take your life in your hands as a firefighter. They are a truly unqiue group of men and women unlike any other.
Famous Fire Service Stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I originally bought this book used for something like two bucks, expecting very little from it. Just another one of my fire-guy books that I like to read. I was quite pleasantly surprised when I realized that many of the stories were ones I knew or had heard told and re-told in the fire academy and in the firehouse. They were well-researched and well-told versions of stories that I only ever knew the "gist" of. Famous rescues made by firefighters famous in the fire service: The woman they cut out of the collapse of a building also on fire during the 1989 San Francisco quake. Atlanta FF Matt Mosely rescuing a worker off a crane while dangling from a helicopter. The Worcester 6 in 1999. The double rope rescues made by Paddy Brown, Paddy Barr, and Kevin Shea in NYC in 1991 that was the inspiration for the rope rescue in the movie Ladder 49. This is not a throw-away book, it's a must for anyone serious about the lore and legend of the fire service.
