Firefighters have long been among the most admired men and women in
our culture, and recent events have shown how well-placed that
admiration is--adding fuel to our innate fascination with stories
about fire and the people who risk their lives to fight it. Some of
our best writers are drawn to the subject of firefighting, and over
the years they have created a rich body of literature. Fire
Fighters offers the most exciting and compelling stories from that
body of work, including accounts of devastating fires from New York
to Yellowstone, as well as smaller blazes that have turned
particularly ugly or dangerous. Selections include Jimmy Breslin's
eulogy for the men who died in the famous Chelsea fire, Norman
McLean on the Great Gulch forest fire that killed nine young
smokejumpers, John McPhee on fires in the Pine Barrens, Studs
Terkel's interview with a fire fighter, and riveting accounts of
the FDNY's role in the September 11 tragedy and its aftermath. 16
black-and-white photos are also featured.
