Content

They drive through the streets with flashing lights, are allowed to drive through red lights, and all other traffic must make way for them. But what does it look like inside an ambulance? How are fire hoses hooked up? What can rescue boats and helicopters actually do? And how do we help people during a flood?
Impressive and sensible, this book illuminates the technical side of the work of rescue units.
