description: Cassie Hanwell was born for emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse she's seen her fair share of them and she's excellent at dealing with other people's tragedies. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to uproot her life and move to Boston it's an emergency of a kind Cassie never anticipated.The tough old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie's old job as it could possibly be. Hazing a lack of funding and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren't exactly thrilled to have a lady on the crew even one as competent and smart as Cassie. Except for the handsome rookie who doesn't seem to mind having Cassie around. But she can't think about that. Because she doesn't fall in love. And because of the advice her old captain gave her: don't date firefighters. Cassie can feel her resolve slipping...but will she jeopardize her place in a career where she's worked so hard to be taken seriously?Katherine Center's Things You Save in a Fire is a heartfelt affecting novel about life love and the true meaning of courage.
