Curator's Note:
Smith provides a visceral, high-adrenaline account of what was once the busiest firehouse in the world during a particularly volatile era in the South Bronx. The book avoids polished heroics in favor of the raw, exhausting reality of the job and the dark humor required to survive it. It remains a staple for anyone interested in urban history or the gritty mechanics of life on the front lines.
