Description

In this final book of the Firehouse Fraternity series, the changes experienced by Newark firefighters are discussed. Learn about the forces behind these changes and how men worked to bring them about--or to resist them. What conflicts were experienced within the firehouse as the NFD moved through the later half of the 20th Century? What was the union's role and how did that role evolve over the decades? What was the effect of the 1972 strike? How has each generation viewed the new kids coming on the job? It is said that the only thing that does not change is the fact that everything changes. Yet the more things change, the more they remain the same. Has technology and society really changed the NFD, or are the changes only on the surface, with the job remaining very similar to what it was like back in 1942? Read Changing the NFD and decide for yourself.
