Favorite/ Good Books?

Okay, I have seen the threads for firefighter movies and music...what about Firefighter/EMS books? Or are they "no use"?

 

Personally I love reading!

 

Which have you read? Do you recommend any? If so, which ones?

 

I'll start~

 

I have read too many to count...here are a few that I can remember...(in no particular order)

  1. EMS: The Job of Your Life-Devin Kerins
  2. EMS:The Life of Your Job-(Same author)
  3. Paramedic:Buff to Burnt-George Steffensen
  4. The Night Angel Nine series
  5. Quick! How Do You Dial 9-1-1?-Randy Nickerson
  6. Most of the books by-Joan E. Lloyd and Edwin B. Herman
  7. Both books by-Peter Canning
  8. EMT Rescue-Pat Ivey
  9. The Fire Inside:Firefighters Talk About Their Lives-Steve Delsohn
  10. Rescue Men by Charles Kenny
  11. Fire on the Mountain
  12. Young Men and Fire
  13. Chief : the life of Peter J. Ganci, a New York City Firefighter-by Chris Ganci
  14. Report from Ground Zero-Dennis Smith

These are just the ones that I can remember right now.

I look foward to  your lists!

Great book, written by a Vol firefighter/college prof. Some good stories from his days starting out all the way to making chief of his dept. I've e-mailed him a few times, super nice guy and great look at the fire service.

I love 3000 degrees. I bought 4 copies so far just so I could have them to give away cuz I'm not giving up my copy! I loved how it went into the lives and the loves of the men who died in that fire. It brought them to life for those of us who never knew them. By the end of the book it felt as though I had lost dear friends to that terrible fire because the book was so well written.
