Series: Hold and Improve

"Most people would never willingly set foot inside a burning forest, but wildland firefighters consider walking among flames to be a typical day at the office, which might leave you thinking, ""Are they insane?"" Well, I'd like to invite you to find out for yourself.

Welcome to Hold and Improve- Volume Bravo, the second book in the Hold and Improve series. Much like Volume Alpha, Volume Bravo is full of impressively diverse contributions from the fireline. This book series provides a rare glimpse of what life is like inside the 'fire world, ' making for a fun and fascinating read you won't want to miss."

Reviews for Hold and Improve -Volume Bravo: A collection of awesomeness from the edge of the fireline

"Incredibly moving and sometimes astonishing. I always find myself thinking about these stories long after I put the books in this series down. A true testament to the hard work, danger, beauty, and poetry of fighting fire, and the deep bonds that connect the fire family. -M.R. O'Connor, author of Ignition: Lighting Fires in a Burning World Marines and firefighters are cut from the same cloth, the only difference is their grooming standards. Wildland firefighters have a tribal culture, and they embrace that culture through oral history and storytelling. This book captures the fire culture by looking straight into their souls. -JD Baker, US Marine Corps (Retired), OMNA International ""Super Rad."" -Thomas R. Taylor, Fire Operations Specialist"
