Fires of Time

A veteran firefighter paramedic, well-schooled in fire history, travels back in time to observe some of America's greatest fires. "Stand back, observe and don't get involved, " he is directed. Telling a seasoned firefighter to not get involved is like urging a rabid dog to please not bite. The disease is in the dog's blood, it's mind, it's soul ... it has no choice but to bite. Firefighters throughout history have been smitten with their own unique bug, fueled by compassion for others and the thrill of the fight. Scott McLean is no different. Like firefighters everywhere, he is a different breed of dog. He cares too much to be at bystander and craves the action too much to watch others battle the beast without him. Firefighting is in his blood, his mind, his soul ... Scott has no choice.Wilson, Barry is the author of 'Fires of Time' with ISBN 9780972561501 and ISBN 0972561501.
