Customer Reviews

He's not a MUTT !
Finally, a "White Hat" who gets it...they are a rare breed. Chief Lasky's book illustrates why being a firefighter is the best career in the world. He is forward thinking, but established in a foundation of old school values which gives him direction. All this is found in his book. This is an easy read, but a very complex subject. If you are on the 'Job', this is a must read - over and over again. Fall in love with the job all over - and be proud of what you do!

Fire Chiefs- Get it, read it, and LIVE IT!
If you are a Firefighter get this book. Or better yet attend one of Chief Lasky's seminars. If you are a Chief Officer get it, read it, and LIVE IT!

Inspiring!!!
As a rookie firefighter, it was recommended that I read this book. So I did and it changed my whole view on the greatest job in the world. I highly recomend this book to anyone who is a firefighter that wants to bring back the lost pride in our fire service.
