'Us firefighters do more than fight fires. We also assist those who have just
gone through what's probably the worst experience of their lives.'
The devastating 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires threw the importance of our
volunteer firefighters into sharp focus. But these brave men and women don't
just step up to protect life and property in fires; they are also there to help
in road accidents, plane crashes, natural disasters like cyclones and floods -
and, yes, they even rescue pets that have got themselves into strife.
In this collection of first-hand stories, ranging from the 1880s to 2020, our
courageous volunteer firies take us right up to the frontlines and reveal the
stark realities of the dangers they face to keep our communities safe.
This book serves as a tribute to the thousands of volunteer firies across
Australia who roll up their sleeves and selflessly put their lives on the line
to assist their fellow human beings.
