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.

I think his endeavor to show the faces of those who protect life and
property, is a great way to make the public aware of the work we
firefighters perform, and the character we truly have.

We look at each other and find strength, not weakness…….. Faith, not
