My father ( sorry I have to boast here) worked with Dennis Smith in the belly of the beast while he was writing this wonderful book. He was in 38 truck which supported 82 at many fires in the south Bronx. Smith changed 38 to 48 in his novel. This novel was really the first book to lionize firefighters and give the public a view into the lives they lead. My father has nothing but the highest opinion of Dennis Smith as both a firefighter and as a man.Dennis during the 911 commission hearings again ran head first into a political firestorm by testifying to the criminally negligent leadership of the leadership of the city of New York on that fateful day that contributed to the loss of 343 firefighters. Smith debunked the myth that communications were lost due to the loss of the communications repeating tower when the first tower fell.The communications were lost because Giuliani's political cronies and lackeys who were appointed to run the department were criminally negligent and did not buy the department the new radios that had been badly needed and that had been promised to the rank and file. And that would have had the capability to broadcast with ease from the base of the towers to the roof of the towers.Is is logical to conclude that had the first tower of fallen and the new radios been delivered as promised the firefighters in the second towers would have been warned to get out. And would be alive and breathing today. Some estimate that as many as 150 plus firefighters could have been spared.
What a stellar book. Despite being written long before I ever worked in a fire department, the book still applies today. I'm not fond of fire books that are filled with bravado and self adulation; the shelves are littered with those. This is far from that. It's as much a social commentary on poverty, crime, arson, despair, and the people who sacrifice their lives in poverty stricken communities. Whether you work in law enforcement, EMS, or the fire service, there's a message here about what it means to work in public safety.There's parts of the book that will leave you in tears. It's an honest and introspective book.If you work in an urban area, as I do, there's parts of the job that tear away at your humanity and patience. There's things that haunt you in the dark corners of the mind. Scenes you wish you could unsee. It can be depressing. It can wear at the soul. It can make coming into work a dreaded chore. I found Dennis Smith's book to be cathartic in a way -- reading someone, four decades earlier, struggle with many of the same things that we struggle with today.
Report from Engine Co. 82 is an up close look at the working life of a South Bronx Firefighter in the 1970's. The author wrote this in 1972 when he had been a Firefighter for 8 years. There was an unprecedented amount of activity at this time in the South Bronx and the author does a great job of describing fireground activity before a Mask policy and constant running around to false alarms, rubbish fires, auto accidents , assaults and overdoses and the resultant death and injury. Dennis Smith was a cerebral warrior who read Steinbeck and Mailer to relax, quoted poetry and played the Bagpipes. As he describes the conditions of the area he works in he compares it to his own upbringing on the East side of Manhattan and his home 60 miles away upstate. His caring and those of his fellow Firefighters is evidenced in his sympathetic and questioning description of emergency conditions they respond to. This book was responsible for inspiring many future Firefighters and bringing to light the dangerous job they do. Over 40 years after this book was written the authors stories still ring true and are prime examples of a disciplined , dedicated and effective workforce in NYC. Recommended.
Story written by Dennis Smith who is a Fire fighter for Engine co. 82 in the South Bronx where it is the lower income area in the 1970's. Its one of the busiest areas if not the busiest for the amount of calls in country. This is a time where they have the fire pull boxes on the street or street corner which means they have a tremendous amount false calls with someone just walking or kids pull the handle just for the kicks. It is amazing going through the book that the people that live in these areas that the fire fighters laid down their lifes to protect use the fire fighters for sport by throwing rocks, shooting at and other means of harm. The story is a pretty good description of fire fighter life that being said there are some areas I wish there would have been a better description in certain areas for someone not in that profession.
I'm the nozzle man on a busy Engine company here in Connecticut. The senior guy of over 25 years recommended this book to me because he knew that I was an avid reader. I listened to him and picked it up on my Kindle, and once I did there were many late nights that followed of me laying in my bed at the firehouse reading this.It's a very honest, phenomenal portrayal of life in the FDNY and as a firefighter in general during some of the busiest years at the busiest Engine company. This book nails what it's like not only in the middle of a house fire, but also what it's like to live with a bunch of other guys in the firehouse. The jokes and pranks, the sad times and the happy times. It's all here and I would recommend this not only to anybody that's ever ridden backwards but also anyone that's ever been curious about what life as a fireman is really like.Pick this book up and you won't be able to put it down!
