I found this book to be both entertaining and educational. A humorous look at real life situations over the course of Chief Rubin's long and prosperous career. A good buy for the money, after all, we can never stop learning in the fire service.

Chief Rubin has provided an excellent collection of personal experiences that will serve as a springboard for other firefighters in our quest for a safer work environment. The text is prepared for all levels of firefighters, from the "probie" to the Chief Officer. Congratulations Chief- Excellent book!
