description: Stories of Alaskan adventure.Told by longtime Cordova fire chief Dewey G. Whetsell. "The darkened streets were deserted and all the windows black as I tore through town. As soon as I crested the hill on First Street, I saw the sky north of town glowing red. And I was alone. Even in my agitated state, I knew the sun did not rise in the north, so this was not going to be a walk in the park.." Chief Whetsell whisks you into the action and onto the edge of your seat. From midnight rescues on ice caps to blazes from hell, his pen traces the contours of thirty-four years experience. His colorful style will engage firefighters and laymen alike. Perhaps the best book of its kind to hit the market in years. It offers non-stop adventure stories from America's last frontier and a wealth of tactical information from one of the best in the business.
