DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Brooklyn, 1973"What's the address of the fire?"It was the twenty-fourth time that Fire Alarm Dispatcher Tommy McDonald, who was nearing the end of a double shift at FDNY's Brooklyn Central Office, had asked that question in the last two hours. Nondescript on the outside, most people walking by thought the Brooklyn CO was part of the nearby Prospect Park Zoo. The dispatchers inside knew that the zoo was a much quieter calmer place by comparison.The Guardians of Brooklyn follows the lives of two fire alarm dispatchers, one a rookie and one a 17-year veteran, as they navigate through fire department politics, city politics, arson for profit, murder, union politics and love.
