Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An airplane rolls down the runway and is about to take off when a fire erupts in the right engine. Within seconds, the cabin is engulfed in flames. The passengers and crew start to breathe in thick smoke. They need to be evacuated and fast! In less than a minute, aviation firefighters arrive with their equipment, ready to battle the blaze and rescue the people trapped inside the plane. In Aviation Firefighters, dramatic, true stories will keep readers turning the pages as they learn firsthand how these tough, brave firefighters use their strength, quick thinking, and expert skills to battle deadly blazes. In addition, readers will go behind the scenes to learn how aviation firefighters train for their job so that they are ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.
