Firefighters take first place in the popularity hit parade. In France, every 9 seconds, with or without a siren, they rush out, bringing help: an average of 1900 incidents a year. For 15 years, Christophe Dubois was a Paris firefighter ready to act at any moment. It is a demanding profession which requires a high level of training and solid nerves to face numerous situations of human distress. In A Life Under Fire, Christophe Dubois passionately recounts in detail his years of training. He carries the reader into the sliding doors of the fire station, onto the fireground and reveals an unseen world which his photos testify to. Because Dubois has become one of the official photographers of the Paris Fire Department. Throughout the years, he has followed his comrades, facing the worst combat situations. To Abidjan, for example, to a refinery fire. Author of an uncensored series of reports on firefighters around the world, he pays homage to them and makes us feel the brotherhood of their daily pledge. This is a generous testimony to a great force.
