Fire Crew: Stories from the Fireline

By Ben Walters

Book Overview

"Every year, thousands of young men and women think they would like a job as a wildland firefighter. And every year, tens of thousands of them do it- they fight the summer battles of wildfire on the forests and grasslands of the West. Some die. Some have times of their lives. And many forge lifelong friendships and collect the memories of a lifetime. This is the first book to vividly and honestly portray what it's like- from the spine-chilling fear of a wildfire entrapment to the simple joy of a warm meal and a chilled soda. From the steep mountainsides of Idaho to the sweltering humidity of Florida, Ben Walters tells the stories of the fires he fought and the friends he made during his years as a wildland firefighters."--
