FIRE CREW: Stories from the Fireline
A hilarious, albeit accurate portrayal of life as a young wildland firefighter. As wildland firefighters, we have all lived these stories in some way or another; to read this book took me back in time and invoked the unforgettable smell of smoke, as if it were yesterday."~ Emily Webb, former wildland firefighter"Walters' narrative offers a unique insight into the archetypal character of the American wildland firefighter." ~ Steve JacksonLight, humorous and easy to read - brings back memories of a fun time to be working in fire ... and extremely accurate. I know - because I was there! ~ Bob Mallett, Deputy Fire Management Officer, Idaho Falls District"This is one of the few books - if not the only one - to accurately portray the realities of being a wildland firefighter. Ben Walters tells the story with humor, sadness, and vivid storytelling - and he offers insight into why people do this hard, dirty, and dangerous work." ~ Marc Rounsavile, Area Commander Team 4, retired
