Description: Fighting fire in New York City has always been one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Yet from the city's earliest days, New Yorkers have wanted to be firefighters, and even today the list of men and women waiting to take the firefighters exam numbers in the thousands. In this engrossing survey of the nations largest fire department. Terry Golway-son, godson, and in-law of the FDNY-chronicles their unique and fabled history. From the volunteers of colonial times to the 'fire laddies' who raced each other to put out blazes in the 1840s, from the Triangle Shirtwaist fire to the arson epidemic of the 1970s, and with a moving tribute to the valor displayed on September 11, 2001, this original history of "New York's Bravest" is a dramatic and timely reminder of the people-and sacrifices-that have made American cities great.
