Finally the sun has come out in Massachusetts, which reminded us that its actually summer. Looking for good books to read while lounging in the hammock or on the beach? We've got a few suggestions to go along with our previously mentioned must read fire books and our favorites listed on our website.
First off, DMC Books has released two new recommended books. Lights & Sirens follows Pat Burns' career on the Chicago Fire Department. Flames and arsonists, life and death, humor and tragedy were all parts of Pat's career chronicled in this book.
Also from DMC comes Phil Burns' second book of stories from his career on FDNY, Bringing Everybody Home. This is the followup to Laughter, Tears and Muffled Drums and once again Phil demonstrates his gift for capturing the moments in his fellow firefighter's lives.
Public Enemies is sure to be one of the biggest movies of the summer. But can you watch it while lounging in the back yard? The book is an astonishing true-life account of America's first, and greatest, war on crime. teh author puts to rest many of the myths to tell the true story of J. Edgar Hoover, the beginnings of the FBI, and America's emerging underworld.
Rescue Men covers three generations, over sixty years, of service on the Boston Fire Department. Rescue Men captures the sense of belonging that came with being a firefighter and captures what its really like.
EMT Kelly Grayson tells stories from his profession and the people he encounters everyday in his book En Route. Morgan Larence's The Streets Ran Red is an account of deputy sheriff paramedics and the cast of medical experts who help them save lives. My Ambulance Education looks at life as a New York City EMT.
Finally, if you're going to be visiting Boston you may want to check out Returning To Quarters. this reference to all Boston Firehouses can help you create your own firehouse tour! If your visiting New York, bring along the Firefighting Buff's Guide To NYC to help guide you.
Fianlly, a little off subject, we recently got in stock the highly recommended Hybrid Vehicle High Voltage / SRS Shutdown. If your first responders aren't fully prepared to deal with hybrid vehicles it could lead to serious injury. This guide contains step by step instructions to quickly shut down hybrid vehicles. Lets keep everyone safe, so they can spend the summer lounging in the hammock.
