Report from Engine Co. 82 is the story of one company of New York firefighters battling unimaginable death and destruction every day. Dennis Smith worked as a firefighter in the South Bronx, New York City, and the graphic detail and gripping prose of this firefighting classic drives the most important, accomplished, terrifying audiobook ever published on firefighting. This book struck a nerve within the nation when it was first published 30 years ago. In our troubled times, it gains even greater resonance for those trying to make sense of the deaths of so many New York firefighters on September 11, and for those inspired by the tireless work of firefighters and other rescue personnel in the aftermath of the destruction. Dennis Smith describes the bravery, heroism, camaraderie, and unflinching courage of New York's bravest, demonstrating how firefighters everywhere have become the most respected of American heroes.©1972 Dennis Smith (P)2002 HighBridge Company Biographies & Memoirs New York Historical Sociology

As a Young Firefighter it's amazing to hear stories from the war years. This books puts you in the rubber boots, rubber jacket, leather helmet and no airpark ways of how firefighting used to be. Every Firefighter should read it.
