Great Australian Volunteer Firies Stories by Bill Swampy Marsh

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

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, and 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 is 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.
