About the Book

The story is set during the 1970,s and early eighties about the British Fire Service as seen through the eyes of an operational city fire fighter. It tells of the humour, the horrors and the heroics that the job involves, and of the wives and families who provide the support when the job becomes that much more stressful. It is not an autobiography but is written as a novel. Although the incidents described, are based on events that the author confronted or knew took place,they have been altered slightly to create a more interesting read.


About the Author

He now currently lives in Australia and spends his time writing. At present John is working on his second book, which is a sequel to They fight fires and win, and is called Fire in the Desert. he is also completing a third novel totally different from his previous. It is a horror/supernatural story titled The Boyd Inheritence.
