The text is matter-of-fact in its explanations of the training, gear, tasks, and station life of firefighters. The book conveys the danger and importance of the work without overdramatizing as it provides a bit of history and explains the many responsibilities performed by the various members of firefighting companies. An assortment of large and small photographs accompany this intelligent introduction to the career of firefighting.
