title: Fire Station Number 4: The Daily Life of Firefighters (Photo Books)
author:  Mary T. Fortney 
description: Grade 2-5-Fortney chronicles the activities of three Livermore, CA, firefighters throughout the course of a typical day. Chapters are divided by morning, noon, and evening routines (which range from cooking meals to investigating toxic spills), while lesser-known facts, such as the presence of volunteer firefighters, are highlighted in focus sections. Additional information is provided on apparatus, women firefighters, and fire safety and prevention. Although many other books have documented this subject, including Virginia Schomp's If You Were a Firefighter (Benchmark, 1998), few have described the profession with as much detail or specificity in relation to a particular station. The depiction of firefighting from an insider's point of view further adds to the credibility of the information, and the sharp, full-color photos on every page vividly capture day-to-day station routines. Overall, a useful source for reports and special-interest reading.<BR><I>Jennifer Oyama, Los Angeles Public Library, CA</I><BR>Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
