New York City Firefighting, 1901-2001 (Images of America)

Summary: Scher does it again!!
Review: Many years ago Steve put out one of the first pictorial/real photo books ("FIRE!") on the FDNY and it has become a classic. Now, he does it again but this time he captures a full century of history. I know someone who likes to say "History is never more fascinating than when it's read from the day it was reported." Steve has adapted this expression to photographs. For anyone who has an interest in the FDNY, whether you are a tried and true old buff or a post-9/11 admirer, this book is a must!!
