TV Firefighters

Rating:
Summary: Complete From Beginning To End....
Review: "TV Firefighters" by Richard Yokley has to be one of the most complete books I have ever read. Although it focuses on Firefighters who have appeared on television, the way the book is written will thrill at least three segments of our society. For the screenwriter/TV Writer, this book is a look inside at what it took to get an idea from paper to the screen. In this case, it's ideas that deal with firefighters. Those mentioned include lendary producers/writers/directors such as Jack Webb and Tom Fontana along with most of the major studios. For the firefighting buff, there are specs for uniforms, helmets, and fire apparatus from here in the U.S. and AROUND THE WORLD. Finally, for the collector, there is a look at toys, memorabilia, and other relics relating to the profession. A complete guide to TV Firefighters role in the world of firefighting? Yes!

This is a great book which gets a 5 Star rating from me!

Summary: This book is on FIRE!!!
Review: This is THE book on TV firefighting history! Mr. Yokley has obviously done his research for this one, it is filled with details and little-known facts on all of your favorite fire related TV series. Not just a great resource for fire buffs and tv historians, this book is just plain fun - going back and remembering the shows you grew up watching. The book covers everything - cast and crew of different shows, behind the scenes stories, old shows to current series, even firehouse recipes (and the ones that I tried making were great!) This would make a perfect "thank you" gift for your favorite firefighter! I know I'll be giving a few of these this holiday season. There's an old saying that goes "everyone loves a fireman" well, I think everyone will love this book too! Enjoy.
