While I know everyone has the best of intentions and mean well, posting order information that is not true can be detrimental.

So, please make sure your information is accurate before submitting it. Thank you.

(IN-PERSON) TUESDAY, AUGUST 22 6:00—8:00 PM Program Room, Newburyport Public Library 94 State Street, Newburyport, MA, 01950 www.newburyportpl.org ![]() Burn Boston Burn tells the story of Boston in the early 1980s when the City is set ablaze. Two hundred sixty-four buildings were burned, intentionally set on fire, resulting in millions of dollars in damages and hundreds of injuries. This is the true story of the deep conspiracy of nine men, determined to wreak havoc on the city and the relentless investigators who uncovered them. Told from the perspective of the head ATF Special Agent in charge of the investigation, Wayne Miller, Burn Boston Burn is a tale of political deceit and internal corruption. The book details the series of crimes that shook the city of Boston and became known as one of the largest arson cases on record in the history of the country. Wayne Miller was a Special Agent, Criminal Investigator and Certified Fire Investigator for the U. S. Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for 25 years. During his career, Mr. Miller examined more than 2,300 fire and explosion scenes, responded to over twenty-five major incidents, as well as testified as an expert in more than forty cases in Federal and State courts in civil and criminal cases. More information may be found on his website: https://www.burnbostonburn.com. This event is intended for adults. Registration is required for this event. |

The book is separated by county and each section starts with experiences. In these initial parts, Kevin has photos, descriptions and stories about the many firefighters he has met from these counties. It has always been my feeling that while fire trucks are nice, the fire service starts and ends with the people that fill the firehouses. Whether volunteer, call or career, it is the people that make the fire service special and like nothing else on earth. And this sentiment is not lost on Kevin by any stretch. Also included in these sections are stories from members of the CT fire service talking about their experiences and what made them want to be firefighters. Following the experiences are pages upon pages of color apparatus photos. Each page has eight photos with descriptions. The apparatus featured spans decades with some no longer in service and others that were recently delivered. To put it bluntly, this book is just incredible and was clearly a work of love. The amount of time and dedicatoin to this project had to be staggering. A job well done to Kevin on another best selling masterpiece. Whether you are from Connecticut or not, I highly recommend adding this to your collection. For ordering information visit: http://www.ctfireapparatus.com |
