FOREWORD INDIES Book of the Year Awards — 2017 SILVER Winner for Photography A celebration of and tribute to our nation’s courageous firefighters and first responders. Paul Mobley has taken his camera on the road again to photograph America’s bravest citizens. In this collection of intimate and powerful photographic portraits, we get a glimpse of what it means to answer the call and run toward danger. Stunning portraits of these brave men and women—chief fire officers, company and wildland crew leaders, instructors, and line-firefighters—are accompanied by firsthand accounts of those who put it all on the line, as well as stories of those firefighters who have made the greatest sacrifice of all. American Firefighter contains the real-life stories of firefighters, from the most rural volunteers to the most sophisticated and technologically advanced metropolitan departments, and it also profiles the children and grandchildren of firefighters who have been lost in the line of duty as they honor and pursue a family legacy. This book is an excellent gift for this nation’s 1.4 million firefighters and their families, for those just coming to the profession, or for any American who is intrigued to learn more about these everyday heroes.

It is the early 1980s when Artie and Angela Reese and their children move into their dream home in the Stoneybrook community in Charlotte, North Carolina, with the hope that the fears and prejudice that once overshadowed their African American family have melted away. Artie is now a lieutenant in the Charlotte Fire Department and Angela is an accountant for a banking firm. But as they settle in, no one has any idea of the everlasting effect that Artie and his family will soon have on the community and entire city. Unfortunately, Artie knows his new assignment at University Station is not going to be easy. The fire station houses a den of redneck racists who are determined to make his life miserable. Although he knows he will be the only black man there, he still needs to command respect and authority from his brothers in uniform. As he rescues victims in burning buildings that he is certain are racist, Artie transforms into a courageous hero who does not see color—only lives to be saved—a decision that seals his fate and determines his legacy. Fireman Down is the story of an African American firefighter who bravely wears his uniform during a time of racial unrest in Charlotte, North Carolina.
