Photo book about Chicago fire fighters
For five years, author and photographer Alan “Jake” Jacobs has spent countless days and nights on the streets of Chicago as he was allowed entry into the close-knit groups of the city's fire fighters, sharing in the complexity, the quiet giving, the traditions, humor, pride, and the dedication. Motivated by 9/11 he set out to understand and explain the people and their work.

His new book, Thank God for These Guys: Chicago’s Firemen on the Job, featuring over 250 unique photographs representing the most intimate moments in the lives of these often invisible men and women, is available from MT Publishing and from Amazon.com.
