Official Book Description:
For the firefighters of Engine 231, Ladder 120, and Battalion 44, tradition is more than a word or a concept. It’s a standard of excellence dating back to the nineteenth century. For Sean Robertson and Dan Wetzel that same tradition was in their blood. They shared the bonds of firefighting, and the camaraderie of working in the same firehouse. But little did they know, they had so much more in common.
