Pass It On: The 2nd Alarm

What does Boston Fire Commissioner Joe Finn think is the “insidious, darker side” of the fire service? Find out from highly respected veteran FDNY Chief Frank Montagna how you should be spending just 20 minutes a day. Read what Chief Steve Pegram says about a very special firefighter and her alarm, her sizeup, response, and attack―a battle that she could have never fought alone. You may know FDNY’s legendary Chief Croker’s famous quote, “I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a firefighter.” Now you can find out what else Chief Croker has to pass on to you. In Pass It On: The Second Alarm, Chief Billy Goldfeder has once again gathered leading firefighters, fire officers and chiefs from all over the country to share their wisdom and insight through short personal stories, life experiences and anecdotes. Including more than 80 contributors, Second Alarm delivers tactics, operations, tragedy, humor, knowledge, and personal perspectives from a very wide range of extremely diverse personalities. Anyone from rookie to chief (and anyone who knows or plans to be a firefighter) will find loads of great stuff in this book. In cooperation with all of this book's contributors, Chief Goldfeder is donating 100% of his royalties equally between the DC Raymond Downey Scholarship Charity Fund, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, and the Firefighter Cancer Support Network.
