FDNY : An Illustrated History of the Fire Department of New York City
American Icon Close-Up Guides
Since the
earliest years of city history, New York's firefighters have put their
lives on the line to protect its citizens from fire. Written by experts
on Fire Department history, this book documents the evolution of city
firefighting from the earliest bucket brigades through to the post 911
Department, largely through the collection of the Museum. Along the way,
it documents the organizational improvements and political changes that
have made city firefighting significantly more effective. This book
tells the tale of the greatest fires that threatened New York, including
the Great Fire of 1835 and the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. It
includes the attack on the World Trade Center and looks beyond from the
perspective of the months following that traumatic day when hundreds of
New York's Bravest tragically lost their lives. Illustrated throughout
with full-color photographs of fire fighting equipment, memorabilia and
notable fires, mostly taken from the remarkable collection of the NYC
Fire Museum and generously supplemented with unique additional material
from private collections as well as from the FDNY Photo Unit. With
chilling accounts of the most devastating fires that have threatened New
York, including the Great Fire of 1835, the General Slocum Streamboat
Fire and the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, FDNY: An Illustrated
History tells the story of the world's greatest city and the brave
firefighters who work tirelessly to protect it. 70 illustrations, 2
maps.

Curious George at the Fire Station
Curious George
This time George is in serious trouble. When he rings
the bell on the fire engine, the firemen think there's a real fire. It
seems that a fire station is no place for a curious monkey -- unless that
monkey is George, who can do what none of the firemen can to make a quick
rescue.
