First sentence: In planning this book, we committed ourselves to presenting a cross section of firefighting challenges from Dutch New Amsterdam to English New York, when it was just lower Manhattan, to the establishment of "the Greater City of New York" in 1898 and, ultimately, to the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
