Something happened on September 11, 2001 that changed our perception of firefighters. That'swhy children from Maine to Arizona wear tee shirts with FDNY on them. The character,courage, and commitment were there all along. The events of September 11 provided theoccasion for these qualities to be clearly seen.

Firefighting is one of the most hazardous and stressful jobs the world. Many deaths of firemencome from heart attacks. Stephen Darcangelo, Fire Chief in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania says,"stress kills."He says in firefighting "you go from idle to full tilt in a matter of seconds.

Firefighting is stressful on both firefighters and their families. The Fireman's Bible is designedspecifically for these who serve us all in this high risk role. It contains devotions, prayers, andsuggested Scripture readings for a wide variety of occasions. This is a perfect gift for a firemanfrom family or from churches who want to stand with these who are called to risk so much.
