    About this ebook

    Former EMT Michael Morse takes you along for the ride as he and his fellow officers respond to 24 emergency calls in a 34-hour period in Providence, RI. Race from one call to the next as Morse goes from facing life and death emergencies to treating minor injuries and carting drunks to detox.

    See for yourself how difficult, frustrating and at times heartbreaking this job can be, as lives are lost, scarce medical resources squandered and futures altered. Experience first-hand moments of hope abandoned–and then reborn.

    Rescuing Providence reaches into the homes and minds of the people that respond to emergencies–as well as those who desperately need their help. It's a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of the people who do a critical job that is often dangerous, sometimes thankless, but ultimately rewarding.

      I didn’t bother getting past the first page, the first story mentioned is about the fire that occurred at Providence College in 1977, the book says 10 girls JUMPED to their death when unable to escape the fire. If you do a simple Google search it says 10 girls died but only 2 jumped. If this first page is false or over-embellished, what does the rest of the book contain? No thank you. Poor research was done by the author.
