NEW BOOK
Launched on 25th October 2005 in Border's bookstore in Buchanan Street Glasgow, Everyday Heroes is the story of Strathclyde Fire Brigade for the 30 years of it's existence from 1975 to 2005. Written by Alan Forbes the Public Affairs Manager for Strathclyde Fire and Rescue (Press Officer) the title was suggested by Station Officer Mike Kane of Greenock Community Safety in a competition to find a title.
All the books royalties will go to Fire Brigade charities and the book is dedicated to the late Alex McGuire who was the Convener of Strathclyde Fire Board and an ex-firefighter.
The book is a good mix of photographs and text which is a timeline of notable events and incidents throughout the 30 years with a good deal of comments and experiences from numerous past and present members of the Brigade.
This book is on sale for £12.99 from Borders in Glasgow and bookstores everywhere although some my need to order it for you.
Published by Black & White Publishing the ISBN is 1-84502-054-5.
