Firefighters have long been among the most admired men and women in our culture, and recent events have shown how well-placed that admiration isadding fuel to our innate fascination with stories about fire and the people who risk their lives to fight it. Some of our best writers are drawn to the subject of firefighting, and over the years they have created a rich body of literature. Fire Fighters offers the most exciting and compelling stories from that body of work, including accounts of devastating fires from New York to Yellowstone, as well as smaller blazes that have turned particularly ugly or dangerous. Selections include Jimmy Breslin’s eulogy for the men who died in the famous Chelsea fire, Norman McLean on the Great Gulch forest fire that killed nine young smokejumpers, John McPhee on fires in the Pine Barrens, Studs Terkel’s interview with a fire fighter, and riveting accounts of the FDNY’s role in the September 11 tragedy and its aftermath. 16 black-and-white photos are also featured.
