Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Both of these books capture the appeal of firefighting, one in a wildland setting and the other in New York City. Pyne, environmental historian and successful author ( The Ice , LJ 11/15/86), recalls his 15 summers working on a fire crew at the Grand Canyon. He tells many good stories about people and firefighting, and has a troubled memory of the beginning of federal policies which deemphasize fire suppression. Micheels's book, inspired no doubt by Dennis Smith's Firefighters: Their Lives in Their Own Words (Doubleday, 1988), is a collection of reminiscences of 15 veterans of the New York Fire Department. He has captured words from the heart, not only about fires and rescues the firefighters have seen, but about their love for the job and for their fellow firefighters.
- Janice Dunham, John Jay Coll. Lib., CUNY

Product Description
They are the men who fight the fires -- face to face, day to day, life or death. And this is their story. A powerful collection of in-depth interviews with the firefighters of New York City -- a city where eleven fires are reported every hour.
Dramatic, intense, and often terrifying, here is an honest, unflinching look at real-life heroism, told by the men who live it. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
