thread is the rescue of Sgt. Rodger’s brother and his crew. These two story threads are printed in the
separate titles of Bone Yard and Hot Spot. The story lines about Lt. Garrett and Chief
MacElreath may also have been published in the smaller editions. The various story lines alternate through the
chapters.
The story is exciting and includes lots of danger,
firefighting strategies, and descriptions of equipment. Middle-school readers will love this title.
