Book excerpt: “Be brave. Be kind. Fight fires.” That’s the motto of firefighters, like Hersch Wilson, who spend their lives walking toward, rather than away from, danger and suffering. As in Zen practice, firefighters are trained to be fully in the moment and present to each heartbeat, each life at hand. In this unique collection of true stories and practical wisdom, Wilson shares the Zen-like techniques that allow people like him to stay grounded while navigating danger, comforting others, and coping with their personal response to each crisis. Every life contains the unexpected and the unwelcome. How you cope with those inevitable events, more than the events themselves, defines the quality of your life. Firefighter Zen is an invaluable guide to meeting every day with your best calm, resilient, and optimistic self.

Download or read book A Work Day the Firefighter Way written by The Firefighter Writer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a firefighter is an exciting, but important job. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes. A Work Day the Firefighter Way, a rhyming picture book for children, looks at the typical day of a firefigher. Through words and pictures, The Firefighter Writer shares an overview of the fire station and the morning chores. He introduces the equipment found on the fire truck and the firefighters’ protective gear, and he journeys with the fire department as the fire crew responds to an emergency and rescues a boy from a home. He finishes with the firefighters cleaning up the scene and returning to the station where they are always ready for the next emergency. A Work Day the Firefighter Way teaches critical and potentially lifesaving lessons. Children learn the importance of what to do if they find themselves in an emergency, like calling 9-1-1, getting out and staying out, and not playing with matches.
