      OMG, I’ll never look at firefighters in the same way again. Great story.

      Bravery personified. I once saw firemen enter, no, more like run into a burning building in south Boston. Still takes my breath away

      Extremely AOTD worthy.

      Positively gripping read! The short introduction is a little slow but you'll immediately get sucked in after the first couple minutes. Another incredible story from the the author of The Lonely Death of George Bell.

        Gripping is right.

        What about a probie going to his very first fire and making a grab?

        So so good!!!!
