Inside the Inferno: A Firefighter's Story of the Brotherhood that Saved Fort McMurray by Damian Asher, Omar Mouallem
5.0
This book broke my heart. I think I cried throught 75% of this book.
What those firefighters went was extraordinary. He says in the book that they don't like the "h-word" because they don't see themselves as heroes, just people doing their jobs but they are most definitely heroes. While everyone else was fleeing the city, they stayed behind to fight to save the neighbourhoods even while many of them lost their own homes in the process. Working for days with little food and even less sleep in practically war zone conditions, to tame the beast and take back their city. Heroes for sure!
