I only wish the author had included more information on the Notre Dame Church Fire and the Mill Fire. Both fires had a tremendous impact on the City and the courageous job of the many fire departments and firefighters who risked their lives fighting these fires for days. Living near the City of Fall River and knowing several firefighters; there were many stories of heroism that should be told.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Just OKBy RICHARD J JASTREMThe book did not include a chapter on the Firestone Tire Plant fire of 1941 which certainly was a significant fire in Fall River history. The chapters gave only limited information regarding the fire department; its response to the fires; and the fire fighting itself. For example I would have liked to see more details regarding the number of fire stations at the time of each major fire; the specific apparatus responding to each of the successive alarms struck for each major fire (one chapter mentions the number of engine companies in the city but no specifics about the number of ladder companies; hose companies; etc.). Other fire history books I have read typically give specifics of responses to each alarm.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Worth ReadingBy Lorraine E. GregoireI thought this book was very informative and actually brought history alive. The inclusion of the street maps really showed how devastating these fires were and how difficult it was to fight them. The photos are outstanding. It is definitely a book to read especially if you are familiar with Fall River. Highly recommended.
