On October 13, 2007, the Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act was signed into law, giving California firefighters many of the same rights as peace officers, and more. -- from the publisher. the CPER guide provides an overview of the requirements of the act — a clear explanation of who’s covered and the extent of that coverage; how a disciplinary investigation is started and what to expect concerning interrogation, privacy, discipline, administrative appeals, remedies; and more. The guide includes the text of the Act as well as pertinent provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act applicable to appeals; a table of cases, and glossary of terms. Since cases decided under the PSOPBRA are likely to influence how the courts interpret the FBOR, a chapter provides a synopsis of major court decisions under that act. Differences between the two laws are highlighted. -- from publisher's website.

In this rugged account of a rugged profession, Matthew Desmond explores the heart and soul of the wildland firefighter. Having joined a firecrew in Northern Arizona as a young man, Desmond relates his experiences with intimate knowledge and native ease, adroitly balancing emotion with analysis and action with insight. On the Fireline shows that these firefighters aren’t the adrenaline junkies or romantic heroes as they’re so often portrayed. An immersion into a dangerous world, On the Fireline is also a sophisticated analysis of a high-risk profession—and a captivating read. “Gripping . . . a masterful account of how young men are able to face down wildfire, and why they volunteer for such an enterprise in the first place.”—David Grazian, Sociological Forum “Along with the risks and sorrow, Desmond also presents the humor and comaraderie of ordinary men performing extraordinary tasks. . . . A good complement to Norman Maclean's Young Men and Fire. Recommended.”—Library Journal
