Review
"These stories apply themselves to administration, training, and firefighting points. I can use this in just about any [firefighting] course... There is not one story that won't apply. Learning from these firefighters' experience is a great teaching tool." - M.B. Oliver, Director of Fire Science Technology, Midland College, TX

Excellent Read!!!!! All of the stories are actual accounts that have occurred in the field! I recommend this book to anyone who is working in the Fire Service or others looking to get a taste of crawling down the hall.

This review is from: Firefighters from the Heart: True Stories and Lessons Learned (Paperback)
This is an excellent book especially if you are in the fire service. Every story comes out with a special meaning and best of all, very good lessons for survival and safety. The author was the assistant chief of the fire academy while I was a recruit(candidate)and he did an excellent job teaching. I'm still learning from him and will never forget every thing he taught me in the academy. Thanks Steve for being an important role model and teacher.

This review is from: Firefighters from the Heart: True Stories and Lessons Learned (Paperback)
This book does a very good job, and I give thanks to the author and all his scources for the excellent stories. Every story in this book serves to illistrate a point, a purpose. It tells the stories of fire fighters from all over, both big and small, career and volunteer. Some of the stories are sad, some of them happy but All of them serve the purpose just as the title says "Lessons Learned." I would strongly recommend this book to Anybody and Everybody that is interest in, already serving in, or has served in the Fire Service in some way. Furthermore this book is good not only for those previously mentioned but for Everybody else. You won't be disapointed if you purchase this book..I wasn't thus why I've given it 5 stars.
