Product Description
A collection of classic tales about America's greatest pranksters in action. This book details an aspect of the fire service that the public rarely sees. Teams of firefighters working 24 hour shifts on an organized fire department can often be a very stressful experience. And traditionally, starting way back in the early days of the horse drawn apparatus, the fire guys have tried to wind down back at the firehouse by plotting some of the damnedest pranks on their fellow firemen. That's what this book is all about. A must read for every rookie firefighter and a sure giggle for any old timer.

 Skip it... January 7, 2009
Many of the "jokes" detailed in this book would definitely result in prosecution for sexual assault at any workplace I have ever been assigned. I was more horrified by the tales which were supposed to be funny. After reading "Firehouse Pranks" I will always eye Firefighters with trepidation, probably unjustly. Quite frankly, I think the author is full of (ahem) baloney.

Most of the pranks were good but three things bothered me. The one about the quarter in the black neighborhood, I would have skipped telling that one. The story about the man cheating on his wife & mainly how the writer didn't seem to be bothered, even in the slightest, when telling either of these stories. Infidelity & making fun of poor minorities just rubbed me the wrong way. Well bragging about it did anyway. I'm from NYC (FDNY in the family & friends), I know it's out there & happens but he was telling the stories to be humorous & instead I was left with a creepy feeling about the author that carried on for the rest of the read.

I purchased this book for my husband, who is a Firefighter.
I read it along with him and all of the stories rang true,
as He had plenty of his own stories through the years.
It was a delightful read :)

There's some decent stuff in here. I can't believe, though, that he didn't mention what it's like to rip a real good fart while your buddies are following you into a raging inferno. Singed eyebrows, anyone?

This is a very good book documenting the little-known pranks firefighters play on eachother all the time. The public really has no knowledge of the fact that pranks are a long tradition of firefighters. This is truly a unique book because I've never heard of another which is dedicated to this subject.
Most of these are "Classics" and aren't some of the more bizzarre or cruel ones I've heard about (or experienced). The writer plans on making a sequal containing write-ins, so if you want to see your name and prank published, send it to him. He'll give you a free copy of the book.
