Book excerpt: * “A hundred years from now, when people want to know what we told our children about 9/11, Kalman's book should be among the first answers.”—Booklist, starred review * “Intelligently conveys those unfathomable events in a way that a picture book audience can comprehend. . . . With this inspiring book, Kalman sensitively handles a difficult subject in an age-appropriate manner.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review * “Fireboat does many things. It sets forth an adventure, helps commemorate an anniversary, offers an interesting bit of history, celebrates the underdog, and honors the fire-fighting profession. Children and adults will respond to it in as many ways.”—School Library Journal, starred review * “Exciting, uplifting, and child-sensitive. . . . Revisits the tragedy without the terror and conveys pride without preachiness."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, starred review * “Quintessential New York artist Kalman gives us an idiosyncratic but informative look at a Big Apple institution. . . . Kalman’s use of the events of September 11 is honest and honorable, and rarely is she as straightforward as she is here.”—The Horn Book, starred review This is the inspiring true story of the John J. Harvey—a retired New York City fireboat reinstated on September 11, 2001. Originally launched in 1931, the Harvey was the most powerful fireboat of her time. After the September 11 attacks, with fire hydrants at Ground Zero inoperable and the Hudson River's water supply critical to fighting the blaze, the fire department called on the Harvey for help. There were adjustments—forcing water into hoses by jamming soda bottles and wood into nozzles with a sledgehammer—and then the fireboat's volunteer crew pumped much-needed water to the disaster site. The John J. Harvey proved she was still one of New York's Bravest! Maira Kalman brings a New York City icon to life, celebrating the energy, vitality and hope of a place and its people.

Download or read book Shipboard Fire written by Fire Chie Harrisson and published by . This book was released on 2005-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shipboard Fire is a manual on merchant ship types including Passenger carrying ships of various classes that ply the waters of the high seas and the lakes and rivers of all of the navigable waters. Any and all persons who are yachtsmen or who would take passage on a Cruise ship or other Merchant Vessel would find the first four chapters of special interest as these chapters dwell on not only the ship types but also that of the ship's nomenclature (parts of the ship) and the language (names of the parts) used by the seamen on board. The manual also covers ship construction in that it explains the deck planning system and how to find ones way on board. The main emphasis of Shipboard Fire, however is directed toward the folks within the Department of Homeland Security and toward the Land based Firefighters and Emergency personnel who have Marine Facilities or Ports of Call within their areas of Jurisdiction or Response. Much of the manual does apply not only the larger ships that carry commercial goods and passengers but applies to all vessels or floating platforms down to the smallest boat, they have the same inherit problems as the big ones. The manual goes into detail on certain events that may occur on board a ship during an emergency or fire that describes the Machinery Room and equipment, Ship Stability problems to keep the ship upright, the firefighting plan, strategy and logistics. Fires on board ship require special attention and for the safety of the firefighter, this manual was written. Putting out a fire on a floating platform is a dangerous undertaking and its inherent problems are not experienced on shore side facilities. Sea Captains and Mates and Marine Terminal Operators would be interested in this manual, as it would help them understand the problems of the fire service and how their input would enhance the Firefighting or Rescue effort.
