A Firefighter's Story: 30 Years On The Front Lines
A Firefighter's Story is a powerful memoir of a man's thirty-year career in a couple of exceptional and selfless professions.

Richard A. Ehrlich spent three decades as a professional Firefighter and paramedic with the Philadelphia Fire Department, including twenty-one years as a lieutenant. In this gripping memoir, he shares intimate tales of the reality of this life, which is filled with danger and tragedy but also, sometimes, miracles. Rick describes catastrophic fires, including one at a major oil refinery where eight firefighters died and another at a high rise office building where three more lost their lives, and he shares the story of the radical group Move and the bomb the city dropped on their row-home compound that killed eleven people, including five children. He also pays tribute to 9/11 and the courageous New York City Fire Department.

A Firefighter's Story is an homage to a remarkable profession and the men and women who take it on, told through the story of one of their own.
