I heard Steve Delsohn talking about this book on NPR shortly after it came out,and I knew I had to have it. At the time I was fire chief of the fire protection district where I lived,while working full time on one of the largest ALS ambulance services in the state,and part time as a police officer. I started reading The Fire Inside,and didn't want to put it down. Being so entrenched in public service work it was like a read of my friends, and my own life experiences. It was presented in a very smooth easy to read way from probie to retiree,with rescue and wildland mixed in. The stories brought to mind all those old World War Two veteran,leather lung,go to hell head gear fire fighters that were at the end of thier service when I came on. I found the book to be so good I read a passege from it at every training session. There was something appropriate for nearly every lesson. This book may not be for everyone, but gives an unflinching look into the world of fire fighters as it was in the recent past. It also gives a peek into the mindset of the people who went into public service be it Fire,Police,EMS or emergency room personnel. If you are interested in this topic you may even see a little of yourself in them.

Excellent

Fires and firefighters have fascinated people since the days of the bucket brigade. In this book, Steve Delsohn has taken the time to get behind the scenes, and talk to the men and women who do the backbreaking, dirty work that is firefighting.

This is a closed society, just because no one else can understand what it is we see day in and day out. Among us are the Samaritans wishing only to help others, the adrenaline junkies who groove on the rush you get going in to a burning building, and the guys who just like the days off.

A lot of people try to get on the job, and not many make it. This is your chance to see what it's like, and who the real people are who man (person?) the firestations around this country. After reading it, you'll understand why I'm proud to call all of them my brothers.
