More Info
My first book, Lights for Life and Sirens for Suffering, was written aboutmy life as an EMT-A serving on a fire department for twenty-three years.I learned about life being first on the scene of horrible events in life,including my own. This book is about serving in New York City after9/11/01 as a Critical Incident Stress Management team member onthe pile of the worst attack on America. No one can prepare a personfor the experience everyone went through there. But most importantly,how we all came together on the pile and other locations there and ourwhole country. We lost so many lives that day and since then.As a first responder, I found the need to talk about what was onmy mind and heart. First responders, police, fire and EMS, and military,must take care of ourselves as well as we try to help others. This alsoincludes nurses, physicians, teachers, and all people giving so much oftheir lives for others.The day before I left to serve in New York City, a prayer was prayedfor my safety. The person prayed for a ladder for me. I didn't think thatI was going to need one as I was not a fireman. But as life happens, Ibelieved it saved my life. I want to thank my Critical Incident team forcontinuing service and new teams currently being developed. Please,reach out for help, no matter who you are, you deserve it.Thank you to my family, friends, Eddie of NYPD, and Tom Mills andothers who helped me by supporting this book.
