He has another book which is based on his FIRE/EMS career, called " Meeting your nieghbors one siren at a time". I highly recommend it. He was also featured in the documentry " Into the fire" that previewed on the history channel about 3 years ago. Would also recommend that video.

Is this about a free lance writer from New York, who moves to New England, where he buys a 1950 Dodge pickup sitting in a field and restores it in his barn?

If so, that's a book I've been looking for, since reading it once in the late seventies. One of my very favorite books, well-written, humorous, full of interesting anticdotes and just place fun to read.

If not, well...move along then... sorry.

Joemac,

No, that's not the same book. Truck was published in 2007 but it sounds similar since he is restoring a 1951 International. If you find the one you are looking for let us know.

Ralph,

No, it's definitely not a reprint you can tell by the current events in the book. I wrote the author over the weekend and he actually wrote me back. He said he's not going to fires anymore but is still active in his vollie. rescue squad.
