Books about Firemen from Amazon.com

This book is about firemen doing their work. It is not a book exclusively for firemen, men and women, at least not directly It is a book about them, their work and how they do it, their tradition and dedication It is for all of us who didn't know what they do. It is for all the fascinated people to whom the author has shown these photos who never realized how compelling the work really is. We can honor the memories of those fallen in the line of duty with ceremonies and dedications, not only at the World Trade Center, but all over the country, on average 116 a year. But it isn't enough to just feel badly for them. What they would like but hold out little hope for is to be understood and not taken for granted; the very thing all of us need. In that spirit Alan Jacobs set out to find out as much as he could, never realizing at the time the complexity of the job, how captivating it would become, the tight-knit community he was allowed to enter, the tragedy, and the humor, the honesty and openness, the help he would receive and the friendships. What a bunch they are..

This is a true story of one woman's journey to attend to the well-being of firemen devastated by the loss of four members of their Company and 339 of their brethren on September 11, 2001. It is about the ultimate rescue, for in a startling reversal of roles the firefighters help to heal the author's own traumatic past.In a tone both poignant and thoughtful, Ms. Locke provides an authentic, historical account of life in a New York City firehouse. Her acceptance past the "big red doors" and a line of battle-hardened firefighters is a heartwarming tribute to how giving to others can become the ultimate experience of receiving. (A portion of the proceeds will be used to assist firefighters affected by 9/11 and the Jessica Locke Firefighters Fund.).
