Dennis Smith
Published by:
Broadway Books
An unforgettable journey through the daily lives of the brave men and women who have made saving lives their profession.
Dennis Smith, author of "Report from Engine Co. 82," traveled across the country talking to dozens of America's firefighters to put together this powerful collection of their own descriptions of their most dramatic and intense experiences on the job.
