On September 11, 2001, Captain Terry Hatton (called by his fellow FDNY firefighters Captain Man-Hatton) entered Tower One of the World Trade Center. Before advancing into the inferno, says firefighter Tim Brown, Hatton "wrapped his arms around me and said, ‘I love you, brother. Don’t know if I’ll see you again….’" Something happened on September 11, 2001 that changed our perception of firefighters. That’s why children from Maine to Arizona wear a tee shirts with FDNY on them . The character, courage, and commitment were there all along. The events of September 11 provided the occasion for these qualities to be clearly seen. Firefighting is one of the most hazardous and stressful jobs the world.

An unforgettable journey through the daily lives of the brave men and women who have made saving lives their profession.
Dennis Smith, author of Report from Engine Co. 82, traveled across the country talking to dozens of America’s firefighters to put together this powerful collection of their own descriptions of their most dramatic and intense experiences on the job. Their stories, compiled here, are timeless testimonies to the human capacity for heroism and nobility.

Patterned on the outstanding success of I Love a Cop, this is the first book of its kind written exclusively for fire fighters and their families. Challenging two-dimensional stereotypes, Dr. Ellen Kirschman portrays fire fighters as they really are: complex men and women doing one of the world's toughest jobs and trying to fit comfortably into two families-the one at the firehouse and the one at home. I Love a Fire Fighter takes us on a journey from stationhouse to four-alarm blaze, from a harrowing ride with paramedics to a family dealing with shift work. Along the way, Dr. Kirschman addresses occupational health and safety issues along with domestic concerns including unpredictable schedules, lack of communication, and anxiety. Vivid anecdotes and practical tips show families how they can pull together when job stress threatens to spill over onto home turf, and shed light on what spouses and partners can do to help themselves, their mates, and their children live with the "best job in the world.".
