Notes from the Firehouse
Here’s the set-up:
Firefighting isn’t always about fighting fires, although it’s about that too.
Sometimes it involves capturing runaway parrots, evicting vagrant bats, extricating small dogs from snow-blowers, and extinguishing brushfires while being bombarded with golf balls; it’s a unique job to say the least. This collection of short stories covers the entire gamut from funny to tragic.
The author documents many of the calls that “take a little piece out of you” but he mixes in a little humor into every story. Of course, there are also a few stories about that special brand of insanity that’s found in the firehouse – to the author it’s the Cracker Factory.
This collection of short stories allows the reader to take an inside look into a profession that is like no other – firefighting.
From the reviewers:
“It’s captivating. I couldn’t put it down.” – Rhett Fleitz -The Fire Critic
The most daunting thing about running into a burning building isn’t the fire; it’s everything else. ‘Notes from the Firehouse” is the memoir of veteran firefighter D.E. McCourt. “Notes” is a moving and exciting memoir about the things people don’t always consider about firefighting. – The Midwest Book Review
