Recensione

"Maria Mudd Ruth is matter-of-fact in her explanations of the training, gear, tasks, and station life of firefighters. She conveys the danger and importance of the work without dramatizing as she provides a bit of history and explains the many responsibilities performed by the various members of firefighting companies. Quotes from firefighters personalize the discussion, which is constructed in short chapters. . . . [It's] an intelligent introduction to the career of firefighting that will be widely appreciated. A concluding section on fire safety and prevention gives practical advice on fire prevention and emergency procedures." Horn Book
