Fighting More than Fires is a true story about the life of Miami Dade’s first African American Fire Chief, Charles Phillips. It is his autobiography, detailing his rise through the ranks of Miami –Dade Fire Department to achieve the highest honor of becoming Chief, only to be accused of the unthinkable.
“My story lays bare the details of my experiences – the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
Phillips says, “Writing this book was a 10 year gut-wrenching, soul-searching project and it was very difficult to re-live some of the unpleasant experiences I had encountered. Can you imagine working your was up the ranks from firefighter to Chief, in a major city in America, only to be publicly humiliated and forced out of office on false allegations by someone you trusted as a confidant?”
Fighting More Than Fires is a compelling account of Chief Phillips’ fight to make it to the top and then having it all taken away two years after being sworn in. It is his story of betrayal, deception and perseverance.
