Synopsis
The first comprehensive account of fire and rescue boats in America, this profusely illustrated book sheds light on a heroic tradition dating to the nineteenth century. From coast to coast and in cities large and small, it documents everything from battleship-size fireboats so powerful their monitors could reduce concrete structures to rubble, to small waterjet-powered fireboats, and everything in between. Included are operational details that showcase the proud traditions of marine firefighting. The author traces the evolution of mammoth wood and iron fireboats to modern, high-tech aluminum vessels whose role is dictated by ever-changing dangers and technology. This book pays tribute to marine firefighters who served with purpose and pride, and who continue to answer the call of danger.

- 2***t (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat seller communication, shoes came with a slight factory defect on one shoe but that’s to be expected with most pairs and is nothing outrageous. Price was an absolute bargain and the shipping was fast. Only thing I’d recommend for the seller is changing their shipping service, since OnTrac has a very poor reputation and can be an unreliable shipping carrier but I thankfully had no problems. Besides that great shopping with this seller and will hopefully be back soon for more.
