Summary: Warriors of Fire
Review: All I can say is Wow! I love reading and I usually go in for the lighter reads, but a friend recommended this book. It held my attention from beginning to end. I will not spoil it for others, you have to read this. It will make you cry and laugh! It will certainly give you a greater appreciation for firemen all over the country. The author of this book obviously loved his job as a firefighter, and his writing seems to come right from his heart. Thank God for all you firefighters out there.

Summary: a lot of firefighting, sad and happy time
Review: Fine book, sad but always optimistic and often funny, very pleasant to read.
Written by an experienced fireman, with a very big heart and a great humility. In a sequence of many short episodes he tells the history of a part of FDNY from the 60' to 80'.
He doesn't keep your attention with tough exhibitions or spectacular performances, but with the passion and love he put in his work, also in little facts.
I like the great ability to depict complex facts and situations in a very few words. His purpose was to share his experiences and wishes to everybody: he make it.
I am sad to learn that he died in 1998. Ciao, Tom, good job.
