"Every serious fire could trigger powerful impulses of fear, and if an officer shows that fear on the job, if he is not calm and not disciplined himself, then the fear will spread quickly though the men. Calm is the most basic of the positive words that firemen use to describe one another." p.40
I thought this was just a book about a firehouse and firefighting, but it's about one firehouse in NYC on Sept. 11, 2001. Half the men did not come home that day.
