Synopsis
Dennis Smith is a member of the busiest engine company in New York, one that averages 700 call a month. His firehouse is in the South Bronx, a community with more homicides, more drug traffic, and more prostitution per square mile than anywhere else in the United States. In Report From Engine Co. 82, Smith recreates a fireman's life as it has never before appeared in print. With him you climb the ladders into burning buildings, crawl Indian-fashion down treacherous halls through poisonous black smoke, knowing that the ceiling may fall or the floor collapse or a hidden explosive ignite. Alongside him, you watch friends die - and see lives saved with bare and blistered hands. Firemen never know what they'll meet when they respond to an alarm - a fire, a family quarrel, a hold-up, a homicide. Whatever the emergency, the fireman is prepared to handle it.

From AudioFile
Little boys often dream of becoming firefighters, picturing themselves as the heroes who put out fires, save lives, and rescue stranded cats. This 1972 book by Dennis Smith, author of REPORT FROM GROUND ZERO, removes the glamour, while demonstrating the challenges facing Smith and his fellow firefighters in New York City, where most alarms are false. Lloyd James sounds like a firefighter. His voice has enough roughness to convince the listener that he's ready to do battle every time the alarm bell rings; James's emotions seem to ebb and flow with the book's events. Unfortunately, this abridgment leaves the listener wondering what parts of the story are missing. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
