Book Synopsis Orlando Firefighting by : Ginger Bryant
Download or read book Orlando Firefighting written by Ginger Bryant and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mystery surrounds the origins of Orlandos name, but the most probable explanation for its moniker dates back to the exploits of Orlando Reeves. While guarding Central Florida forts against Native American attacks, Reeves was alarmed in the middle of the night. A log rolled toward Reeves in the darkness, and he knew it disguised movement by an opponent. After firing his gun to awaken his fellow soldiers, he was bombarded by arrows, which resulted in his death. Orlandos name was bestowed upon a local post office in 1857 and then on the city incorporated in 1875. Just like the brave solider for whom the city was named, firefighters of Orlando boldly risk their lives for the welfare of others. This volume commemorates those men and women and traces a rich history from 1883, when a devastating fire inspired William C. Sherman to start a volunteer fire company, to today.

Book excerpt: This memoir is a riveting account of what it's like to be a professional firefighter, from rookie to chief officer, over the course of a 31-year career. The anecdotes are funny, sad, and grim: all serve to educate readers about a profession that many dreamed about when they were children but would never pursue or truly understand. Chief Howes provides a better understanding of the profession and respect for the men and women who protect our communities by relating his own experiences as well as those of other firefighters in some of the busiest stations in the country. The author is donating 10% of royalties to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, the nonprofit group dedicated to the development and expansion of programs to honor our fallen fire heroes and assist their families and coworkers.

Download or read book Triumph written by Floyd Jordan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triumph is the story of my journey through the fire service and has been a dream of mine since I was promoted to the rank of fire lieutenant in 1974. Writing this story and reliving many events was painful, such as the blatant racism and disrespect experienced on duty the day Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee; and when the firefighters union expelled all the black firefighters from membership when they refused to disband their association as members of the Black Firefighters association; and Scrotum on the head", the worst scandal in the Miami Fire Department's history, are a few of the most important stories revealed in my book. But this story is not just about pain; it is also about the joy of triumphing over the obstacles and barriers that were endemic for trailblazing black firefighters from the mid 1960's and beyond.

Book Synopsis It All Started One Day by : Gerard Felice
Download or read book It All Started One Day written by Gerard Felice and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As noted in this book, I began my firefighting career at age 18 in 1962. That career ended in 2005 when I retired from the fire service. In 1980, I had left New York and moved to Tennessee where I was advised that because I had already passed my 35th birthday, I was too old to be a fire fighter. Instead, I worked various jobs to pay the bills but my heart was still to be in the fire service. After 4 long years, I was able to move again only this time to Florida. Almost immediately when we relocated to Florida, I was asked to join a volunteer fire department. The rest is history. While growing up in New York, I had several relatives in the fire service in our community along with a few of the neighboring departments. Their stories always captured my attention and interest. Of course, I enjoyed being a kid but I especially loved the firemen's parades. Those men marched down the main streets of the villages with so much pride it totally captured my childhood. All their highly polished trucks, the marching bands, the smart, sharp uniforms and the great number of firefighters was very exciting to me. Even to this day, when I walk into a fire station, the first thing I acknowledge is the aroma of smoke. Automatically that aroma brings back many fond memories. I have fulfilled my life's dream.
