About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Into the Fire written and read by Edric Kennedy-Macfoy.

The incredible true story of life as a London firefighter.

What is it really like to be a firefighter? How does it feel to respond to an emergency call, to know that someone's life hangs in the balance and every second is critical?

Into the Fire offers an unforgettable insight into the highs and lows of life in the fire service. Chronicling his thirteen-year career in the London Fire Brigade, Edric Kennedy-Macfoy takes us with him from his training days as a new recruit to his very first fire; from call-outs to cannabis farms, chemical spills and trapped swans to the devastating scenes of road traffic collisions, the Croydon tram derailment and the Grenfell Tower fire.

Heart-breaking, deeply personal and at times hilarious, this is his remarkable story.

It only took me 3 days to listen to Eric's audiobook. I was really absorbed and was looking forward to pressing play everytime I knew I would have an opportunity to do so. Eric's story is very insightful and interesting. I felt very impacted by his words and it opens up my eyes onto what my own father must have gone through himself throughout his life long career as a firefighter. We never really talked about it. Now I can't wait to sit down with him and have a conversation about it. Thank you.

Very insightful and deeply interesting

Great book on the struggle and strength of a firefighter working in conditions you couldn't imagine.
I think this book will help a lot of people even who are not firefighters but going through trauma in some way, its not often a man opens up about Mental health so I feel this book has a powerful message to men and women suffering alone.
Its ok not to be ok, so just talk to someone even if its a stranger.

Great insight into a heros job and a brave man.
