Braving the Flames; Their Toughest Cases In

They are the men who fight the fires -- face to face, day to day, life or death. And this is their story. A powerful collection of in-depth interviews with the firefighters of New York City -- a city where eleven fires are reported everyhour. Dramatic, intense, and often terrifying, here is an honest, unflinching look at real-life heroism, told by the men who live it.
