Having joined a firecrew in Northern Arizona as a young man, Desmond relates his experiences with intimate knowledge and native ease, adroitly balancing emotion with analysis and action with insight. On the Fireline shows that these firefighters aren't the adrenaline junkies or romantic heroes as they're so often portrayed. An immersion into a dangerous world, On the Fireline is also a sophisticated analysis of a high-risk profession-and a captivating read. 410 0$aFieldwork encounters and discoveries. 606 $aWildfire fighters$zWest (U.S.)$vBiography 606 $aWildfires$xPrevention and control 606 $aHazardous occupations 606 $aRisk-taking (Psychology) 610 $afirefighters, wildland, firecrew, arizona, memoir, biography, autobiography, danger, risk, profession, career, heroism, nature, environment, wilderness, wildfire, conservation, ecosystem, nonfiction, masculinity, prevention, fire, risk-taking, hazardous occupations, forest, country, men, gender, training, discipline, burning, death, mortality. 615 0$aWildfire fighters 615 0$aWildfires$xPrevention and control. 615 0$aHazardous occupations. 615 0$aRisk-taking (Psychology) 676 $a363.37092/273 700 $aDesmond$b Matthew$01519127 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782450803321 996 $aOn the fireline$93757068 997 $aUNINA
