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.

This blew me away, sensitively written where needed, Honest and informative where you want it and so gripping throughout. Couldn't encourage reading this book more. Edric's performance as narrator is also brilliant and emotional ❤️

Only wish I could rate it higher than 5*
