In crisp, clear prose that is accessible to the layperson as well as the seasoned firefighting pro or buff, Bruce Hensler looks at the long history of American firefighters, celebrating their achievements while making cool, level-headed judgments about what would make their job safer. I was struck both by Hensler's passion for the culture and tradition of firefighting and his honesty in dissecting how that culture sometimes can be counterproductive. The average citizen will learn a great deal about the mechanics of firefighting from Hensler's descriptions, while professionals may be challenged by his blunt conclusions and prescriptions for the future. --Stephanie Schorow, author of Boston on Fire and The Cocoanut Grove Fire and editor of Boston's Fire Trail: A Walk through the City's Fire and Firefighting History
