About this story
BOOK ONE >>> AMAZON
On Jonathan Tillman’s last shift with the Fire Department, he sacrifices everything to save a victim. But, after decades of tragedy and trauma, his soul is far from what anyone would call heroic. Yet all is not lost. To honor his final heroic act, he is offered a second chance.
Join Tilly, a firefighter turned reluctant hero as he's thrust into a new world of magic and monsters. He will have to use everything he's learned over his long career if he wants to survive the first few days, let alone save this world from an enemy that will consume everything if not stopped, even Tilly's soul.
> Firefighter Isekai written by an actual Firefighter

*Author's Note*
I started writing this in-between calls at the station and I draw a lot of inspiration from my experience as a first responder. MC is as close as I could get him to some of the toughest, smoke-diving, no-nonsense people on the planet. (I work with some real badasses and I have always wanted to explore what would happen if we threw one of them into another world.)
Yes to blue screens and RPG influence.
No to harems, shallow motivations, or railroaded plot.
I have had a ton of fun writing this, thanks for giving this one a chance.
Also, final warning, fight scenes will have blood, there are occasional cusswords and puns... There are some terrible, terrible puns.
