Zac Unger didnat feel like much of a fireman at first. Most of his fellow recruits seemed to have planned for the job all their lives; he was an Ivy League grad responding to an ad at a bus stop. He couldnat keep his boots shined, and he looked terrible in his uniform. "Working Fire" is the story of how, from this unlikely beginning, Zac Unger came to feel at home among this close- knit tribe, came to master his workas demands, and came to know what it is to see the world through a firefighteras eyes. From the raw material of his daysa workaalarm calls both harrowing and hilarious, moments of triumph and griefaUnger has forged a timeless story of finding oneas path, and a rousing adventure about the bravery and sacrifice of everyday heroes.
