Great
| Customer Rating: | | I have had a chance to train with Chief Chikerotis. He is one of the most genuine guys you will ever meet. He cares more about training the fire service than he does of himself. The reasons these stories are in the book are because they match the life the Chief has lived. Chief's dedication to firefighter rescue and survival is unmatched. What a great person to learn from, I would work under him any time. |

Touching Stories
| Customer Rating: | | 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. |

Firefighters from the Heart
| Customer Rating: | | 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. |
