Rick Ornberg offers not only an inside look at life in the firehouse and vivid accounts of a variety of emergency responses, but provides thoughtful and introspective insights into some of the evolutionary changes that have affected fire departments everywhere.Starting his fire service career as a recruit in 1971, literally riding the engine tailboard, hanging on with one hand while buckling up a canvas firefighters coat with the other, Rick covers two and a half decades of change along with personal insights, in-depth stories, and behind-the-scenes examples of an evolving suburban fire department. He also shares some of his experiences as a frequent contributor to FIREHOUSE Magazine and other trade publications.Includes: The Crash of American Airlines Flight 191, A Visit to \"Planet Firehouse\", Chicago Firefighters' Strike, From First Aid to Paramedics, Are Firefighters Really Brave and Fearless?, The Politics of Fire, Assignment: Space Center Fire and Rescue, Extreme Weather Responses, What's A \"Superman Suit\"? and much more\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard C.
