Description
Dave Fanning's boyhood dream was to become a firefighter. In this memoir, he shares tales from a bygone era of firefighting in Liverpool, England, where firefighters used hook and ladders to climb between floors and faced significant health and safety concerns. Fanning recounts his experiences leading firefighting on Merseyside during the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s. He describes the challenges of this period, including the high volume of cargo ships offloading at the River Mersey docks, and the innovative fire training methods developed by himself and his team. This book offers a poignant and humorous look at life as a firefighter in Liverpool during this time, with valuable lessons for any leader of people.
