We Got 'Em On Point, Dave Houseal, 2008
Dave Houseal worked in every firehouse and on every platoon and almost on every company of the Harrisburg Fire Department during his almost thirty year firefighting career before he retired in 2003. The author of the popular We Can See It from the Bridge, Dave's got a few more stories in his terrific new collection, We Got ’Em On Point.
In this book Dave once again brings his deep sense of humor to his chronicles of the many characters he’s met on the job – outrageously funny firefighters and stupendously stupid and unthinking citizens.
He brings his meticulous historian’s eye for detail to his re-creations of the dangers and hazards of the fireground. And, perhaps most importantly, he brings his deep love and appreciation of the fire service to moving stories about his fellow firefighters’ spectacular sacrifices and their daily displays of quiet courage.
If you enjoy truly well told fire tales, then pour yourself another cup of coffee or crack another cold one, sit back and relax, and enjoy Dave Houseal’s We Got’Em On Point.
