Every firefighter has a treasure trove of interesting stories to
tell and the stories more often than not are instructional as well
as exciting. When I was a firefighter, I kept notes of the fires I
responded to. Now that I am retired, I have reflected on my career
as a firefighter and have written a second book about the men
alongside whom I worked, facing dangerous situations daily. This
book is a compilation of eight short FIRE stories written between
1963 and 1972, from notes I wrote after returning from fires. The
first story explores the emotions felt when reporting for duty for
the first time. The same emotions felt by all firefighters
throughout the world on their first day on the job. An inexplicable
bond forms between men and women who face danger on a daily basis
and who have been tested - and have passed the test. From the
combat soldier, to the policeman and the firefighter - a bond of
love and trust has formed that will last a lifetime.
