Five Floors Up - The Heroic Family Story of Four Generations in the FDNY (Hardcover)

Seen through the eyes of four generations of a firefighter family,
Five Floors Up is on one level the story of the modern New York
City Fire Department. From the days just after the horse-drawn
firetruck, to the devastation of the 1970s when the Bronx was
Burning, to the unspeakable tragedy of 9/11, to the culture-busting
department of today, a Feehan has worn the shoulder patch of the
FDNY. The tale especially shines the spotlight on the career of
William M. Feehan. "Chief" Feehan is only person to have held every
rank in the FDNY including being New York City's 28th Fire
Commissioner. He died in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World
Trade Center. But Five Floors Up is at root an intimate look at a
firefighter clan, the selflessness and bravery of not only those
who face the flames, but the family members who stand by their
sides. Alternately humorous and harrowing, rich with anecdotes and
meticulously researched and reported, Five Floors Up takes us
inside a world few of us truly understand, and documents an era
that is quickly passing us by.
