This books is a celebration of New Zealand's fire stations and the people whose lives revolve around them. In its pages hisotry, heroism and hard work combine to tell stories that range from the busy station at Auckland's International airport to the voluneteer station in the tiny Southland township of Athol.
Whether they're home to paid staff or volunteers, urban or rural brigades, what every one of the 27 stations featured here have in common is the dedication, commitment and bravery of the firefighters who put their lives on the line very time the siren goes. Here, some of them share stories about what motivated them to join the service, tales of incidents that have stuck with them and even some amusing anecdotes.
The one thing that shines through all of their stories is their commitment to their communities.
