Sobre IBD

In Responding Newark firefighters bring you into the fire building and share the satisfaction and sacrifices inherent in the fire service. The reader is introduced to responding and firefighting procedures. Fires from 1942 to 1966 are remembered along with unusual responses. Vivid memories of tragedies and lost brothers are re-lived as the men continue to paint an unvarnished history of life in New Jersey’s largest city.
