Average review score:

Excellant introduction to firefighters of foreign lands.
Although published over twenty plus years ago, this book allows a quick look at the fire service around the world. Of special interest are the excellant drawings of each nation's firefighters dressed in their period turnout gear and uniforms. And in many images there is a partial showing of a fire engine unique to that country's fire service. This book forms the basis that the fire service must become more global both in sharing everyone's ideas, apparatus used, and training and education methods. Fire remains as mankind's greatest enemy. More powerful than any war force, it robs us every minute of the day by taking lives and property. A universal sharing of knowledge in the prevention of fire and firefighting techniques throughout the world is the underlying theme of the book. Although written in a simple format for the youthful reader, the book is still enjoyable and educational. Michael L. Kuk, PhD. Savanna Army Depot Fire and Emergency Services.
