One Foot in the Black

A Wildland Firefighter's Story One Foot in the Black chronicles one man's struggle with the risks he must face in perhaps the most dangerous yet fulfilling jobs on earth. Leaving his native Michigan to become a seasonal firefighter with CalFire, Greg Kowalski moves on to the brutal LACoFD Helitack training academy. He finds the acceptance and comfort he longs for within the family of his new crew, but his new life is shattered when his crew is trapped on the mountainside and his captain dies in a burnover. The loss of his mentor and his subsequent battle with traumatic stress force Greg to finally come to terms with the legacy of his father and to become a firefighter and a man.
