A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Everything about fighting fires--the rigs, the gear, the fires, the rescues, the past, and the future--in a dramatic, action-packed, photographic presentation.

FIRE! is an informational book with a dramatic flair. It's chock full of the details, both narrative and visual, of fighting fires and rescuing people--vehicles from pumper trucks to hovercraft, protective clothing from boots to special clothing to wear when working with hazardous materials, equipment from hoses to the golf tees firefighters carry in their helmets to plug leaks in gas tanks and storage drums. It's all here in living color, the generalists, both professional and volunteer, and the specialists--smoke jumpers and hot shots (forest firefighters), arson investigators, emergency
