San Francisco Is Burning: The Untold Story of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire
Dennis Smith

Dennis Smith recounts the 1906 California earthquake in his latest book, "San Francisco Is Burning." The author, a former New York City firefighter, explains that the earthquake caused four days of fire that killed over 3,000 people and destroyed thousands of homes. Mr. Smith acknowledges the courage of the San Francisco firemen who risked their own lives to save their city but argues that the city was guilty of bad planning and lack of preparedness. This event was hosted by Book Passage in San Francisco, California.

Dennis Smith is a former New York City firefighter and the founding editor of Firehouse Magazine. He is the author of eleven books, including "Report from Ground Zero," "Report from Engine Co. 82," and "A Song for Mary."
