About this listen

During a career in the emergency services, you will see every imaginable type of tragedy. In this sometimes humorous, sometimes heartrending, memoir, Ashby rises from a lowly recruit in Pasadena, California, to battalion chief with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. He shares, with authentic detail, the horrific incidents that firefighters encounter. At the same time, Ashby provides a look into his personal life and how you can’t just “leave your work at work” when you serve in this capacity.

“We do all we can, and it has to be enough.”
