Synopsis

Fire is a risk absolutely everyone faces, which gives this book - packed with fire and rescue anecdotes, history of the service, and information on the latest training, transport, equipment, and prevention measures - its appeal. Co-authored by a former top fire officer and a BBC news reporter, this book chronicles the hazards faced by UK firefighters, from Land's End to the Shetlands, Aberdeen to Dover. Tells the stories behind some of the biggest disasters of recent years. Features spine-tingling incidents such as the drama in darkness, wind and torrential rain when a fireman balanced, unsupported, on the top of a quivering ladder to reach up the last few inches to snatch a baby to safety from smoke and flames.
