R. J. Haig, wrote "Fire Horses" (ISBN 0-7414-4267-1)
It's a story about a group of retired firefighters attending a wedding...and suddenly being called back to duty to fight a huge blaze in the town hospital.
It's a riveting story and a real page turner.
I spent many years in California law enforcement and, I must confess, that on many cold and dreary nights I questioned my career choice when I drove by the nice, clean, warm and dry fire stations on my beats.
While I was working a beat driving a marked police car on the midnight shift, I knew that firefighters were sleeping comfortably in their quarters.
Often I was jealous.
After reading Haig's book, I know that I made the right decision for my career.
We owe a debt of gratitude to those who chose the fire service as a career, for they are truly our heroes.
Thanks to author R. J. Haig for writing the "Fire Horses" so that those of us on the outside of the fire service can get a glimpse into the life and death situations that firefighters face on every call.

This is an outstanding book for firefightes and civilians.
It's fast paced and puts you in the action.
It's a do not put down until you're finished reading it.
Tears at the beginning and again at the end.
Outstanding book.
