(Virtual) Author Talk with Tom Dunne "Notes from the Fireground"
2022-04-03 14:00 - 15:00
Via Zoom.
Retired FDNY Deputy Chief Tom Dunne discusses his book “Notes from the Fireground: Memoir of a New York Firefighter.”
In a 33 year career with the New York City Fire Department, Tom Dunne fought hundreds of fires, survived near death incidents and was witness to multiple tragedies. He was one of the responders to the Happy Lands Social Club fire in the Bronx, a disaster of historical proportions where 87 people died. He worked through Hurricane Sandy, which flooded and devastated whole sections of New York City. Most notably, Chief Dunne worked for months supervising rescue and recovery operations following the World Trade Center terrorist attack. He saw how people in crisis lived and survived and how the firefighters who served them worked and bonded. His no-holds barred memoir provides an honest account of an occupation that outsiders seldom get to see.
