Product Description

Welcome to New Auburn, Wisconsin, where the local vigilante is a farmer's wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives (both of whom work at the only gas station in town), and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, Population: 485 is a comic and sometimes heartbreaking true tale leavened with quieter meditations on an overlooked America.

Product Description

On September 11, 2001, Captain Terry Hatton (called by his fellow FDNY firefighters Captain Man-Hatton) entered Tower One of the World Trade Center. Before advancing into the inferno, says firefighter Tim Brown, Hatton "wrapped his arms around me and said, ‘I love you, brother. Don’t know if I’ll see you again….’" Something happened on September 11, 2001 that changed our perception of firefighters. That’s why children from Maine to Arizona wear a tee shirts with FDNY on them . The character, courage, and commitment were there all along. The events of September 11 provided the occasion for these qualities to be clearly seen. Firefighting is one of the most hazardous and stressful jobs the world. Many deaths of firemen come from heart attacks. Stephen Darcangelo, Fire Chief in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania says, "stress kills." He says in firefighting "you go from idle to full tilt in a matter of seconds.

Firefighting is stressful on both firefighters and their families. The Fireman’s Bible is designed specifically for these who serve us all in this high risk role. It contains devotions, prayers, and suggested Scripture readings for a wide variety of occasions. This is a perfect gift for a fireman from family or from churches who want to stand with these who are called to risk so much.

Product Description

On January 19, 2000, a fire raged through SetonHallUniversity's freshman dormitory, killing three students and injuring 58 others. Among the victims were Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos, roommates from poor neighborhoods who made their families proud by getting into college. They managed to escape, but both were burned terribly. AFTER THE FIRE is the story of these young men and their courageous fight to recover from the worst damage the burn unit at Saint Barnabas hospital had ever seen. It is the story of the extraordinary doctors and nurses who work with the burned. It is the story of mothers and fathers, of faith and family and the invisible ties that bind us to each other. It is the story of the search for the arsonists--and the elaborate cover-up that nearly obscured the truth. And it is the story of the women who came to love these men, who knew that real beauty is a thing not seen in mirrors.

Product Description

An unforgettable journey through the daily lives of the brave men and women who have made saving lives their profession.
Dennis Smith, author of Report from Engine Co. 82, traveled across the country talking to dozens of America’s firefighters to put together this powerful collection of their own descriptions of their most dramatic and intense experiences on the job. Their stories, compiled here, are timeless testimonies to the human capacity for heroism and nobility.
Focusing on the most courageous firefighters, from those who have been decorated for heroism to those who have been seriously injured, Firefighters presents the extraordinarily rich and rugged voices of men and women who fight urban building fires, who battle sweeping forest fires, who perform emergency rescues, and who face extreme danger and risk as part of their everyday lives. Sometimes brave, sometimes funny, sometimes bittersweet or filled with anger, these voices combine to make Firefighters both a riveting adventure drama and a moving chronicle of American heroism at its finest.
