In this collection of  intimate and powerful photographic portraits, we get a glimpse of what  it means to answer the call and run toward danger. Stunning portraits of  these brave men and women—chief fire officers, company and wildland  crew leaders, instructors, and line-firefighters—are accompanied by  firsthand accounts of those who put it all on the line, as well as  stories of those firefighters who have made the greatest sacrifice of  all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAmerican Firefighter\u003c\/i\u003e contains the real-life stories of firefighters, from the most rural  volunteers to the most sophisticated and technologically advanced  metropolitan departments, and it also profiles the children and  grandchildren of firefighters who have been lost in the line of duty as  they honor and pursue a family legacy. This book is an excellent gift  for this nation’s 1.4 million firefighters and their families, for those  just coming to the profession, or for any American who is intrigued to  learn more about these everyday heroes.\"Many books written about the fire service range from the tales of individuals to a broad look at the service in whole.  This pictorial account, in my opinion, is one of the best, if not the best, in paying tribute to the entire fire service… The accounts presented in \u003ci\u003eAmerican Firefighter\u003c\/i\u003e serve as more than a benefit for the NFFF but as gentle tug that keeps us in the path of service towards others in a cause greater than ourselves.” \u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eFire Rescue Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but few are as important as America’s first responders. These men and women choose to run toward danger while most flee. In the recently released \u003ci\u003eAmerican Firefighter\u003c\/i\u003e, photographer Paul Mobley captures portraits of some of the country’s bravest citizens—firefighters, EMTs and paramedics.”\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003eParade Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e“What they reveal through their words and photos will leave you with a greater appreciation for the commitment, courage, and compassion firefighters share with each other and their community.” \u003cbr\u003e —Chief Ronald J.
