Here’s the set-up:
A memoir from a retired firefighter about firefighting, rescue calls and life around the firehouse.
It’s not all about fire – that’s lesson number one.
No,it’s a collection of things: assisting an injured person at three o’clock in the morning, calming a child in a traumatic situation, saving the belongings of a family from the ravages of a fire, seeing people in every heartbreaking situation imaginable and trying to help them, while not losing yourself in the process.
And it’s about the insanity found in the firehouse – to the author it’s the Cracker Factory – and the politics and pettiness that try unsuccessfully to steal the joy from the job. The book doesn’t dwell on the nuts and bolts of firefighting, as much as it documents the human side of the job.
“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
“It’s captivating. I couldn’t put it down.” Rhett Fleitz – The Fire Critic

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.
