Description: "Thirty years ago in rural Shropshire, eighteen-year-old Malcolm Castle became a fireman so he could rush into burning buildings to save fair damsels in distress. He didn't realise he would also be jumping into slurry pits and rivers to rescue cows, horses and any number of unfortunate animals. [The book] paints a unique portrait of rural Britain and shows just how surprising a fireman's life can be."--Publisher description.
