The book is full of human detail; what it is like to be on the front line (including the interesting detail that money conscious firefighters can earn lots of overtime if the struggle against a minor fire can be stretched out.) He has a rye sense of humor as when explaining how useful the plastic goggles are: "They are supposed to keep the smoke out of your eyes. But you see, they have all these holes for ventilation. The smoke pours through. If you seal off the holes, the glasses fog up. The government issues these. We all carry them." ( )
