The Fire Club: A dangerously humorous journey into the brotherhood of firefighters (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781470111731)

Cole Walker finally realizes his life-long dream when he is promoted to fire captain. Ironically, Walker has never worked in a firehouse. His entire career has been safely sheltered behind a desk in headquarters. Walker's book-smarts do not prepare him for turbulent firehouse life and the vivid horrors of his dangerous profession. Rookie Captain Cole Walker must lead four rebellious firefighters through predicaments he'd never experienced before. In his cathartic journey to prove himself as a worthy 'field captain' Walker discovers he must fight more than fire. His firefighters despise him for assuming their veteran captain's position. His crew quarrel and torment him with vicious pranks. A rival captain, a narcissistic fire chief, and a vindictive small town mayor vie for control of the firehouse using Walker as fodder, while a mirthful young coed from the Ladies Auxiliary sparks a contentious rivalry. Amid the onslaught of station pranks and public humilitation, Walker and crew are deluged with deadly fires and agonizing rescues. Walker must master his own emotions to help his crew survive the volatile incidents that assail them from both inside and outside the firehouse while making decisions that could easily kill himself and his crew.
