    About this ebook

    Life Between Alarms: Volume II of the Newark Fire Department Oral History The Firehouse Fraternity.

    Read what life was like in Newark’s firehouses while waiting for the bell to hit. “Life Between Alarms” takes you into the private world of the firehouse where firemen eat, sleep, drill, and do the housework (someone has to clean the place). The bonds formed last a lifetime as do the laughs (boys will be boys).

    Members of the NFD appointed from 1942 to 1978 talk about the daily routine of the firehouse, the responsibilities of the house watch, the unique camaraderie shared by firefighters, studying for promotion and then adjusting to new responsibilities after being promoted, and finally the humor used by firemen to break up the monotony of waiting for the "big one." Find out what it was like to be a member of the "best men's club in the world."
