Founded in 1885; the Prescott Fire Department began with four 25-man volunteer companies; the Dudes; the Toughs; the Mechanics Hook Ladders; and the O.K.s. These 100 men reflected both the common man and the leaders of the region. Over the years; their numbers would include governors-to-be F.A. Tritle and Thomas Campbell; business leaders H.D. Aitken and A.A. �Tony� Johns; and numerous members of the Goldwater family. The department and its community survived the great fire of July 14; 1900; as well as the loss of 19 of its own Granite Mountain Hotshots on June 30; 2013. The Prescott Fire Department would go from a volunteer department to a fully paid department of 80 firefighters; operating out of five stations and covering an area of 40 square miles.

We were so impressed; we went to see it a second time. My hearing isnt what it used to be...although I used a hearing assist device; sometimes the wonderful Scottish brogue was a little too much for me...so I wanted to read the script to see just what I might have missed. Reading it made the experience complete for an old fellow like me. What an amazing theatrical experience. More like it; PLEASE...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Translator!By KbAs an Aussie we are rightly accused of colloquisms; though this play gave me a wry smile as I struggled through the dialogue. Friends who have seen the play performed rave about it - particularly once they pick up the language nuances.Stripped bare though this is a marvellous; internationally relevant commentary on the issue of modern warfare from the foot sloggers.Well worth the read and thoroughly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
