Download or read book The Bravest Pets of Gotham written by Peggy Gavan and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the New York Fire Department permitted firemen to keep one dog, one cat, or singing birds in their firehouse. Since the firemen were required to live and work at the firehouse full-time, these animal mascots—along with the horses that pulled the fire trucks—were their constant companions, making a dangerous workplace feel more like home. The Bravest Pets of Gotham takes readers on a fun historical tour of Old New York, sharing touching and comical stories about the bond between FDNY firefighters and their four-legged or feathered friends. The book contains more than one hundred astonishing, emotional, and sometimes hilariously absurd tales of the FDNY animal mascots whose extraordinary intelligence, acts of bravery, and funny antics deserve to be remembered. Some anecdotes depict fire companies that broke the one-pet rule and welcomed a veritable menagerie of animals into their firehouses, including goats, turtles, and even monkeys. Whether you are an animal lover, a history buff, or a fan of firefighting, The Bravest Pets of Gotham is full of stories that will thrill and amuse you.

Download or read book They Saved New York written by Glenn Usdin and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They Saved New York" is a book project that captures a wide range of the firefighters that serve the New York Fire Department (FDNY). The book is a large format photo book with evocative portraits and the personal story of the firefighters experience as FDNY members. In the late 1960's through the early 1980's, the FDNY experienced a historic rapid amount of fire duty and activity that has never been seen by any other city in America. A scourge of arson ran through the city, burning entire blocks and neighborhoods and reducing whole sections of the city to a veritable war-zone.The men (and they were all men in that era) that worked those war years saw more actual fires in a week than most firefighters across the country see in a year. The rules and regulations went out the door as the men struggled to keep the fires under control and respond to an amazing numbers of false alarms and medical calls as well as all the real fires.These men are now in their 70's and 80's, with many of them already dying well before their time. It's time to capture them, and share their stories with the public. These men saved New York and they are leaving us at sad rate.The book moves through the War Years firefighters and capture many diverse members of the FDNY that served through the 9/11 tragedy and those who continue to serve today. We are featuring many family members in the FDNY that have a compelling story to share.There are so many deeply moving and private stories of tragedy and joy that make up the FDNY family. Many involve generations of firefighters 'On the Job".
Download or read book New York City Firefighting written by Steven Scher and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002-03-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of firefighting in New York City is one of danger, tradition, pride, excitement, and tragedy. It is also the story of man's triumph over destructive forces. From the gaslight days of horse-drawn steam engines to the World Trade Center tragedy of 2001, the heroic men and women who make up the city's most dynamic public service have risked and often lost their lives in order to protect and serve the people of New York City. New York City Firefighting: 1901-2001 chronicles the proudest fire department in America. The proximity of buildings in the city streets and the construction materials made each fire especially dangerous, but determined firefighters never hesitated to battle the flames and rescue the victims. Later, facing unprecedented heights and unparalleled danger, firefighters in New York City were called upon to battle infernos in the first skyscrapers, often using the most rudimentary equipment and barely protected from the flames. In its most trying moments, the Fire Department of New York responded to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993 and 2001, dutifully rushing into the towers to save as many lives as possible and ultimately losing hundreds of their own.
