The events written about in this book are from actual events and happenings, most of which I was involved and witnessed. As I finish these writings, our country is in the wake of the World Trade Center terrorist attacks in New York City. What I did in my career would not hold a candle to the bravery of all the fire and police involved in this incident. Thanks, guys; my thoughts and prayers go out to all that gave their lives to save the lives of others. This kind of bravery ties all fire and police throughout the world together. I guess thatas why Iam so sad about all that died. Weare all like brothers.

Download or read book Firehouse written by David Halberstam and published by Hyperion. This book was released on 2003-05-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you have tears, prepare to shed them.” --Frank McCourt "In the firehouse, the men not only live and eat with each other, they play sports together, go off to drink together, help repair one another's houses, and, most important, share terrifying risks; their loyalties to each other must, by the demands of the dangers they face, be instinctive and absolute." So writes David Halberstam, one of America’s most distinguished reporters and historians, in this stunning New York Times bestselling book about Engine 40, Ladder 35, located on the West Side of Manhattan near Lincoln Center. On the morning of September 11, 2001, two rigs carrying thirteen men set out from this firehouse: twelve of them would never return. Firehouse takes us to the epicenter of the tragedy. Through the kind of intimate portraits that are Halberstam’s trademark, we watch the day unfold--the men called to duty while their families wait anxiously for news of them. In addition, we come to understand the culture of the firehouse itself: why gifted men do this; why, in so many instances, they are eager to follow in their fathers’ footsteps and serve in so dangerous a profession; and why, more than anything else, it is not just a job, but a calling. This is journalism-as-history at its best, the story of what happens when one small institution gets caught in an apocalyptic day. Firehouse is a book that will move readers as few others have in our time.
