This second collection of historic firefighting images covers 1940 through 1990, five formative decades for fire protection in North Carolina's capital county. During this period, the Raleigh Fire Department quadrupled in size, smaller municipal fire departments modernized, and rural fire departments formed to protect outlying areas. As populations increased and technology advanced, 20th century firefighters found their duties evolving from simple "smoke eating" to include emergency medical services, rescue and extrication, and hazardous-materials training. Raleigh and Wake County Firefighting, Volume II, depicts fires, fire equipment, and firefighters in over 200 images culled from newspapers, archives, and personal collections. Included in this second volume are rare, early photographs of the Six Forks Road, Western Boulevard, and Wake Forest #2 fire departments.

When firefighters and emergency medical technicians prepare their resume and other materials needed to explore employment opportunities, they realize that they have a unique background. At last there is a resume book that shows firefighters how to best present their qualifications, credentials, licenses, experience, volunteer work, education and training, affiliations, and other information. Would-be firefighters as well as experienced firefighting professionals will find outstanding samples of resumes and cover letters that worked for real people in their field. A special section of the book shows firefighters how to apply for government jobs and how to write the specialized resumes needed to apply for federal employment. As part of that section on the federal hiring process, the book shows shows how to write KSAs (statements describing Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities). This is a highly specialized title for a highly specialized field and for the very special people in that field.
