Fire in Their Eyes: Wildfires and the People Who Fight Them Paperback – Illustrated, March 31, 1999

If anyone is trying to do any kind of research or learn about this job, don't read this book. I know rookie's that know more about this job. Anyone that refers do a (...) con crew as being a hotshot crew obviously knows little about this profession. She almost completely left out what a real Hotshot crew was, didn't talk about what a good engine crew was and as usual for someone that is on the way outside looking in, glorified Smokejumpers. Which is fine, they are great firefighters and a traditional part of our lifestyle, but they are rarely the ones who put the fires out that the public ever sees.

My 11 year old daughter loved this book. Awesome read!

My son read this book for his school essay and really enjoyed reading it. It is an easy read and not too long.

Karen Beil vividly describes the lives of firefighters in Fire in Their Eyes. Also she tells the reader about the dangers a fire fighter must endure when fighting a forest fire. Finally the book describes the different jobs of firefighters and their roles in extinguishing the fire. This is a great book for any one who is interested in becoming a firefighter and the vast amount of pictures make it easy to understand.
