Summary:
From colonial times to the modern day, two things have remained constant in
American
history
: the destructive power of
fires
and the bravery of those who fight
them
.
Fighting
Fire
! brings to life
ten
of the
deadliest
infernos this nation has ever endured: the great
fires
of Boston, New York, Chicago, Baltimore, and San Francisco, the disasters of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, the General Slocum, and the Cocoanut Grove nightclub, the wildfire of Witch Creek in San Diego County, and the catastrophe of 9/11. Each blaze led to new firefighting techniques and technologies, yet the struggle against
fires
continues to this day. With historical images and a fast-paced text, this is both an exciting look at firefighting
history
and a celebration of the human spirit.
