5.0 out of 5 stars
Good interpretation of the job of an arson/fire investigator,
By Bill Cass (wsc-sac@ix.netcom.com) (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fire Cops: On the Case with America's Arson Investigators (Mass Market Paperback)
I have been in the fire service for over 30 years and the past 23 as an arson investigator in a large metropolitan city. The authors have taken the time in most cases to listen to the people actually doing the work on a day-to-day basis. They are to be commended for this. For the person having questions what this job is all about, this book will spell it out in frank detail. This is a subject that is interesting but all too often overlooked by most writers.

Hidden Treasure in the Writing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fire Cops: On the Case with America's Arson Investigators (Mass Market Paperback)
The stories are great and do justice to the field of fire investigation. What surprised me was the quality of the writing! Usually technical subjects do not attract talented authors. This is an undiscovered gem in the realm of literature.

4.0 out of 5 stars
great for arson-investigators-to-be,
By Michael Horstel (Myrtle Beach, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fire Cops: On the Case with America's Arson Investigators (Mass Market Paperback)
If you are already interested in fire fighting and arson investigation in particular, then you will find this book very interesting, with lots of real life stories. A novice however will find little excitement and too much in depth information to keep up interest.
