Job Out Probationer Part 2

By M.E. Fairn

This second book continues with the story of the life and times of a fireman in Torridge City in the 1960's. Torridge City, a 'factional' place, closely resembles a major city in the North of England. This is a story of men on the front line. Men getting their hands dirty saving lives and property. Firemen in those days were poorly paid and considered an embarrassment unless required to deal with incidents. Because of the low pay, many had to take extra work 'raking-off' to supplement their wages. There also was the constant feeling of a 'them and us' attitude between officers and firemen. Michael describes fires and other emergencies in which he took part. How he was dropped in at the deep end to perform watch room duties and assist to organise the fire calls for the City. Michael experiences first-hand death and destruction in these first two years of service before passing his probationary period. (43,130words.)
