Falling Through Fire by Clifford Thompson
The true story of a fire-fighter and his experiences of high-profile disasters during his 25 year career. However, there is one memory he cannot escape and he is haunted by the death of a three-year-old boy dying in his arms after a house fire just days before Christmas.
Clifford Thompson is a journalist, writer and former London Firefighter. He has worked in television news for more than 20 years and is a staff journalist with BBC News covering national and international stories. He has a Diploma of Higher Education in psychology from the University of East London, a Bachelor’s degree in Humanities from the University of London (Birkbeck) and in 2012, he graduated from City University’s MA in Narrative Non-fiction Writing.

Falling Through Fire is his first book – a memoir about his time, first as a firefighter, then as a journalist working on major disasters including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the Paddington train crash.
