Living My Dream: Dr. Harry Carter's 2006 FIRE Act Road Trip, Dr. Harry R. Carter, 2007
During the summer of 2006 Dr. Harry Carter went on a Road Trip to various parts of the United States. His purpose was to assess the success of a novel federal program known as the FIRE Act.
The FIRE Act is a special program whereby fire departments apply for grants to improve their operational posture. What makes this program special is that members of the fire service review the grants themselves. Further, the money which is awarded goes directly to those departments which are found worthy by their peers.
This book describes the adventures of Dr. Harry Carter as he traveled the highways and byways of the United States in search of success stories related to the FIRE Act.
During the course of his journey, he traveled more than 6100 miles, visited 18 states and met with members of 48 different fire departments.
However, rather than a mere rote listing of statistics, this book provides a human view of the people and places that Dr. Carter visited.
