Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Busy As Hell is a funny, serious, and instructive look at the wild experiences shared by hundreds of Boston firefighters who battled their way through the busiest years in BFD's history - a period known affectionately as The War Years.

What happens when a very talented prankster gets a taste of his own medicine? What famous and old-time horror movie personality lived in the attic of one of Boston's historic fire houses? Find out who opens a roof from inside an unvented attic? How many ladder trucks does it take to rescue 125 souls from a blistering inferno in the dead of the night? And what was it like to work with a fireman who lit buildings on fire - in his spare time and even when he was working? Boston's happy band of swashbuckling firemen climbed aboard the old fire engines and raced through neighborhoods filled with wooden three-deckers, aging brick buildings, on narrow streets and little back alleys (the famous paved-over cow paths) and put out a staggering number of major fires - one every 13.6 hours, for twenty-one years straight Busy As Hell indeed.…
