Mike Davis dreamed of becoming either a firefighter or a police officer. But from his position behind an educator's desk, those dreams seemed very far away. So when a chance came to become part of the volunteer paid on-call staff of the fire department in the small town where he grew up, he leaped at the opportunity. The result was twenty years of hilarious happenings, poignant episodes, and sobering scenes, all of which combine to form this charming collection of smoke stories which are the legacy of firefighters everywhere.
