      Delsohn has collected the personal feelings of firefighters and paramedics with regard to a host of issues ranging from fear, danger, brotherhood, and even the little things. Over one hundred men and women are represented. It's interesting and often poignant revealing the human side of a profession that took a real hit on 9/11 (it was published in 1996 so there are no references to that memorable event.) I wish sometimes the individuals could have been a bit more detailed, but it's a nice representative sample.
