Download or read book Into The Fire written by Robert Schinzel and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book of poetry about police and fire from the view of a retired law enforcement officer and firefighter. Police are in the news every day, often shown in an unfavorable light. Their role as rule-keepers in society is frequently misunderstood, the officers judged too quickly by visceral emotion before facts are fully collected and revealed, or legal and procedural issues completed. This collection of poems attempts to give faces to cops, a clearer look at the challenges and responses confronting them today, their paranoia, the rationale behind decision-making, their fears and attitudes. Law enforcement personnel are put into situations where expectations are simply too high, no outcome good enough, no answer the right one, all choices debatable, leaving police vulnerable to vilification, criticism and attack. By virtue of their work, they are often exposed to events that force them to respond in crises, to make decisions that affect other people's lives. Cops respond out of duty, sometimes successful in resolving issues, sometimes not, and only on the rarest of occasions, committing some nefarious act, which other cops find just as reprehensible as would the loudest vocal critic. The entire profession doesn't deserve to be judged based on the acts of a few who step outside the bounds of their authority or law. To cover the subject of public service, it also seems appropriate to include poems about fires and firefighters. The close relationship and overlap between police and fire may not be recognized at first glance, but risks and dangers are shared by them all, the stresses and unpredictable threats as common denominators.My personal views in these poems may be tainted and show a certain bias, but no more so than opposing views. At least they are based on thirty-five years in the trenches, most of that time as city cop and federal agent, plus a few early years as wildland firefighter, and a couple years as arson investigator. One common thread that weaves its way through the poems is that cops and firefighters are people, facing the same personal issues as everyone else. They are not heroes or cyborgs who possess abilities beyond the normal, though their actions may occasionally be heroic. They have problems at home the same as anyone else, bills to pay, lawns to mow. Public safety personnel are a cross-section of society - they are you. The word "fire" as used in this collection has several meanings, the most obvious is that of actual flames and burning. It also expresses the idea "...in the line of fire," describing the path of a bullet, someone as a target solely because of a profession or uniform. In a more general sense, and predominantly as used in this collection, the term describes the world's chaos, the wild and uncontrolled events involving imperfect humans, cops and citizens and what lies between, with all the differences of opinion, the human condition at its highest and lowest. Maybe this book of poems can shed a different light on how we view cops and firefighters. It is not intended to defend them, but to expose them, make it clear these are fellow human beings thrust into almost impossible situations. Imagine if these poems could put readers for just a few moments into the middle of those daily challenges, to envision for themselves how they might respond stepping into the fire.

Book excerpt: Public safety professionals work together in life-and-death situations. During natural or transportation disasters, industrial accidents, shootings, suicides or dozens of other instances, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics are called upon to assist both injured and uninjured people. Although often romanticized in television series and in films, the real-life tasks of public safety professionals are usually unpleasant--restraining violent individuals and removing accident, homicide, and suicide victims from death scenes--and always highly stressful. They are frequently subjected to additional stress when their efforts are criticized by family members of the injured or deceased. Although stress can be harmful, even fatal, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics can have more productive and satisfying lives when they learn to positively control stress, rather than be controlled by it. This English language bibliography consisting of more than 700 references, covering the time period 1945 to early 1989, can help these and other professionals manage stress more effectively. Source publications, all of which are annotated, include books, articles, conference proceedings, theses, government publications, and dissertations. The bibliography section is composed of six chapters addressing psychological and physiological factors, the family, substance abuse, accidents, and suicide, with references arranged alphabetically by author surname. A list of acronyms and author and subject indexes complete the work. Of paramount importance to police officers, firefighters, and paramedics as well as their families, this bibliography will provide legislators, physicians, nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and sociologists with extensive and substantial documentation on the stress-filled work lives of these public safety professionals.

While his friends rally round Blythe, Squirrel’s bond with her grows stronger by the day, until he realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe, healthy, and happy…even as his own lifelong insecurities work against him.
