Dave
Houseal worked in every firehouse and on every platoon and almost on every
company of the Harrisburg Fire Department during his almost thirty year
firefighting career before he retired in 2003.
In We Got 'Em on Point, Dave once again
brings his deep sense of humor to his chronicles of the many characters he's
met on the job -- outrageously funny firefighters and stupendously stupid and
unthinking citizens. He brings his meticulous historian's eye for detail to his
re-creations of the dangers and hazards of the fireground. He brings a true
collector's insight into his tales of apparatus loved and lost -- and a couple
of pieces that were found and saved.
If you enjoy truly well told fire tales,
then pour yourself another cup of coffee or crack another cold one, sit back
and relax, and enjoy Dave Houseal’s We Got 'Em on Point.
The time is 1918.
American troops are fighting in Europe, but German
saboteurs have brought the war to the streets of New York City. Craig von Bell is a German agent trained to disrupt,
damage or destroy American warships, supply ships, munitions warehouses - any
and all materiel and supplies heading to Europe from New
York to help
defeat Germany. His weapon of choice is arson.
Wes Causey,
one of the FDNY's few arson investigators, knows the arson is not
random; he knows that the fires are not for profit or pleasure; he knows the
fires are the work of a German saboteur who will eventually strike terror into
the hearts and souls of the people of New York City.
