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.
Download or read book Let Burn written by Rachel K. Wentz and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985, desiring a meaningful, high-paced career in public service, Rachel Wentz left her university studies to become a firefighter/paramedic. Only the eighth woman hired by the Orlando Fire Department, a highly competitive department steeped in tradition, Wentz excelled, completing an AS in Fire Science, a master’s in public administration, and numerous specialized training courses to prepare her for an administrative position within the department. Wentz spent eleven years with OFD, experiencing a career that was every bit as exciting and challenging as she had sought. A moving, candid, and eloquent memoir, Let Burn recounts her experiences as a firefighter/paramedic, during which time she witnessed aspects of life and death few people are privy to, experiences that shaped her as a professional and as a person. From the rigorous demands of training to the extraordinary calls Wentz responded to, Let Burn details the gratifying aspects of the field, but also demonstrates the precarious nature of the job: a heated altercation at the scene of an industrial fire leads to Wentz losing almost everything she’s worked for and the dramatic end of a storied career. In vivid detail, Let Burn provides a firsthand glimpse into the hidden world of firefighting and emergency medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every firefighter who has served a career in a professional department has stories. These stories are personal to me. The first 12 are those stories that changed me. They have forever affected me emotionally. Some were successful rescues while others were failure, all left a lasting impression. There are many more than just these 12 but these come to mind quickly and have the ability to leave me emotionally drained as I remember them detail by detail. The next eight incidents are those that were fun, funny, or had an important lesson learned. These are incident that I chose not to forget. All should give you a window into the life of a dedicated firefighter, paramedic, and ER nurse. These stories are not in a chronological order as they were written in the order that they came to mind. Some involved my response as a firefighter, while others occurred while I served as a lieutenant or a chief officer. They are not made up or embellished. These are “My Stories”.

The first edition was developed with a zero dollar budget and self-published.
