We Can See It From the Bridge

Collection of tales about fires in crumbling triple deckers, in hospitals, in flea-bag houses, in funeral parlors and massive cold-storage warehouses with ammonia coursing through the pipes, on wharfs and piers and boats. Told with the same on-the-job realism and felt action of the fireground that is Whitney's inimitable style. Stories about enthusiastic rookies and equally enthusiastic vets, about too-talkative arsonists, and about dramatic rescues in the storm-ravaged ocean off the rugged Maine coast, and about the quiet rescue of one little girl's Christmas. Another bookful of great Whitney stories.

We Got 'Em on Point

1918. American troops have joined the Great War in Europe, but German saboteurs have brought the war to the streets of New York City. Craig von Bell is more than a spy; he is what his superiors term a "destroying agent" - an agent trained to disrupt, damage or destroy American warships, supply ships, munitions warehouses, and any and all material and supplies heading to Europe to be used by those fighting for victory over Germany. In an open city with a trusting, unsuspecting population, von Bell has immense freedom of movement to fulfill his mission. His weapons of choice are simple explosives and the raging infernos that follow. His weapon of choice is arson. Federal, state and city law enforcement officials are convinced that no German agents are operating in New York City, that they were all swept up and jailed or deported after the round-up operations that were conducted shortly after America declared war against Germany. They all refuse to admit that the wave of arson fires plaguing the city's waterfront and warehouses could be anything but random, typical acts of criminal arson for profit or pleasure.All except Wes Casey, one of the FDNY's few arson investigators, Casey knows the arson is not random; he knows that the fires are not for profit or pleasure; he knows the fires are the work of a German saboteur who will eventually strike terror into the hearts and souls of the people of New York City. Now all Wes has to do is find the terrorist. With a wonderful appreciation of New York City's history and with meticulous attention to the details of actual firegrounds, Paul Hashagen's THE TWELFTH HOUR is a novel of the past that touches our present in very, very important ways.Paul Hashagen began fighting fires in 1976, and recently retired from the FDNY after twenty-five years of service, with twenty of them in Rescue Company 1. Paul has written several books on the history of the fire service.

The Twelfth Hour

Paul Hashagen

Not very long ago, the Bronx was burning. Day after day, night after night, firefighters responded to vacant and occupied five and six story apartment buildings, rows of attached wood-frame houses, single story commercial buildings, and anything else that greedy and unscrupulous arsonists could set on fire. Taking in up to 1,000 runs in a month, these men waged a desperate fight to save life and property with limited resources and manpower, putting their lives on the line to maintain some degree of order during one of our nation's most chaotic and destructive periods. It was unprecedented. It was exceptional. It was . . . The Usual.

Lights & Sirens follows Pat Burns' career from a raw and inexperienced "candidate" firefighter to Cause and Origin Investigator, and follows his rise through the ranks as he crawls the smoke-filled hallways of Chicago's tough West Side. Later Pat's talents as a superb investigator and respected leader were tapped to help reorganize the new Office of Fire Investigation. Flames and arsonists, life and death, humor and tragedy were all part of Pat's career, and he chronicles them all in Lights & Sirens. As Pat would say, "There's no B.S. in this book! This stuff all really happened."
