Now, Peter Micheels brings you the stories behind the news reports as America’s courageous firefighters tell their stories in their own words. Micheels is a staff psychologist at Bellevue Hospital. He is also an honorary Fire Marshall and an honorary Deputy Chief in the Fire Department of New York.

Braving the Flames is the real story of the men and women whose lives are dedicated to answering the calls for help. Intense and terrifying, Micheels’ book chronicles the experiences of those who give their blood and sweat to save lives, sometimes at the cost of their own. Some of those interviewed by Micheels for this book paid the ultimate price on September 11, 2001.
