Firestorm: The Journey of a Fireman across BC - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Bob Dickson is an expert at fighting fires. And after 40 years of dealing with community fires, fire halls, and fire crews, he has acquired a knowledge and skill base second to none. His resume includes being a Fire Chief, being an Assistant Fire Chief, being an Assistant to the Fire Marshall, being a Training Officer, being an auxiliary fire fighter, and being a voluntary fireman. As well, he taught courses to rookie fire personnel on all aspects of firefighting for the Justice Institute of B. C. All of his work with fires-be they firestorms or tiny hot spots-were carried out while working as a steam engineer at pulp mills and large plants throughout B. C. In later years, he was both a dedicated fire-man and an effective teacher of anything from ladder usage to auto extrication. Today, he is retired and living quietly with his wife Shirley in Castlegar in the West Kootenays.
