Up In Smoke - Stories From a Life on Fire by Leigh Hosy-Pickett
A hilarious, moving and utterly compelling collection of stories from a third-generation firefighter. Warning: may contain cats up trees.
A fascinating, funny, moving, and occasionally horrifying glimpse into the work of our fire service, told with sensitivity and humour by one of those unassuming heroes who will run into a fire to save someone they've never even met * Richard Herring *
A firefighter's life is well worth a bookFirefighters may be lionized and occasionally fetishized, but on the whole their work is less known or written about than that of the other emergency services. They see all of human life, often in its rawest and most extreme states...Up in Smoke is a likeable and illuminating account, nevertheless - one that will leave readers admiring of firefighters' skill and grit * TLS *
