A really good firefighter memoir...

An up close look at life as an Alaskan firefighter. Really interesting and funny, too! I couldn't put this one down.

Great read from a true Alaskan.

Mr. Whetsell has an engaging style. He mixes stories and life lessons as he relives 30+ years of experiences as a Volunteer Fire Chief in Cordova Alaska. I'd recommend it to those who are looking for a true life adventure story.
