This book gives us another look at the profession of a fire fighter. We see once again the toll it takes on the physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing of that person. This book also gave us a look at the type of person best suited for this job as well as the type of person best suited to be their spouse. The pressure and sights forced upon these men and women is tremendous. They often withdraw into theselves. A spouse needs to know that there will be times when they just want quite solitude to process what they have had to deal with that day. There will be times when they need to just sit and cry or talk. This is not a job for every one. These people must be dedicated.

Their experiences also help shape the way that they deal with their family. They are often overly protective. This is because sometimes the things they see are so terrible that they want to hug their family and thank God for what they have at home. They have to learn how to balance their work and their homelife and not let one intrude upon the other. Once again I would recoend this to ayone who is considering going into this field. I would also recommend this to those who are just curious about what goes on in the life of a fire fighter.
