ABOUT THE BOOK Firebombers Incorporated depicts spectacular wildland and suburban firefighting by a large, privately-owned, firefighting organization. Ground forces include bulldozers, engine companies, and smokejumpers. The air wing consists of transport aircraft and air-tankers that use leading-edge electronics and computers to perform pinpoint air strikes, day or night. Founded by a diverse and dedicated group of firefighters, business leaders, engineers, and ex-military personnel, it becomes the most advanced organization of its kind anywhere in the world. By melding together proven firefighting techniques with the latest in electronics, computers, and space-age materials, an elite, hard-hitting force is created that can fly all of its personnel and equipment to a fire anywhere in the Western U.S. within a matter of hours. The story reaches its climax with a massive brushfire that threatens to destroy a foothill community east of Los Angeles and the residents trapped inside.
