Turnout-Second Alarm: Awaited Sequel to Turnout-A Firefighters Story (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

"The word ""Firefighter"" evokes many images in the minds of people everywhere. They are perceived as low-life's who sit around the fire house playing cards and pool, and shooting the breeze to saving kittens from being stuck in a tree and collecting undeserved paychecks. They are also hailed as heroes who are willing to give it all, including their own lives, to save a soul. As a Baltimore City Firefighter for thirty years, now retired, Hall will take readers on a journey from the front seat of a fire engine to the side streets of Baltimore city. Readers will be transported on calls for people trapped in motor vehicles to assisting paramedics rescue a man pinned by a train. They will witness the rage and violence in the streets of Baltimore and the professionals who attend to those victims every day. Follow along with firefighters as they try to tame the ""dragon"". A chapter is also devoted to ""housecats"": civilians who hang around fire houses. Turnout-Second Alarm ends with a chapter dedicated to comrades who have died in the line of duty. Remember as you read these pages that the stories you are reading in Turnout-Second Alarm are all true. Some names have been changed for privacy though most of all the firefighters and paramedics in the book are actual persons and some of the events have been allowed literary privilege."
