The Story

There seems to be this taboo that we can't mess with the parade-waving, cat-stuck-in-a-tree rescuing, handlebar mustache wearing, machismo drenched image of a firefighter. This book breaks rank. Sitting atop the fence row that is the fire service, with one leg hanging over the side of acceptable public servitude, the other dangling precariously into conduct unbecoming, and the ridgeline fitting squarely up the author's backside, it's a wakeup call for those considering the profession. It's a microcosm of the US Fire Service as a whole and the wild and crazy emotional roller coaster first responders ride every time they put on the uniform. Between emergency calls, the book dives into subject matters like porn and sex, firehouse cuisine, murder, LGBTQ issues, racism, nepotism, police brutality, medicinal cannabis, suicide, mental health, and many more topics facing us all today.
