Praise for “In Search of a Hero”

“In Search of a Hero” makes every firefighter proud of his or her profession … Although entertaining, this book conveys a positive influence and admiration for all firefighters. It also teaches that anyone, no matter how young or old we are, with just a small amount of training, can save a life or make a difference in another person's life.” Gary Winborne, Retired Fire Chief
