Notes from the Firehouse: Seventeen Firefighting Stories from a Retired Firefighter

Notes from the Firehouse: Seventeen Firefighting Stories from a Retired Firefighter
- Used Book in Good Condition
A memoir from a retired firefighter about firefighting, rescue calls and life around the firehouse.
It's not all about fire - that's lesson number one.
No, it's a collection of things: assisting an injured person at three o'clock in the morning, calming a child in a traumatic situation, saving the belongings of a family from the ravages of a fire, seeing people in every heartbreaking situation imaginable and trying to help them, while not losing yourself in the process.
And it's about the insanity found in the firehouse - to the author it's the Cracker Factory - and the politics and pettiness that try unsuccessfully to steal the joy from the job. This book is the blue-collared view of a career firefighter. The seventeen stories in Notes from the Firehouse take the reader on a journey with the everyday firefighter from his first days as a rookie, to his last fire that prematurely sends him into retirement.
