Maples, the Antioch College Fire Department's popular nickname, was the only student-run volunteer fire department in the nation. Its history spans over 100 years. Maples had a lot of firefighting firsts. The first female fire chief was chief of Maples. The first woman to become a career firefighter in the state of Ohio was a Maples alumna. Maples has had the most female fire chiefs of any department. This book, written by retired fire lieutenant and Maples vet Mikey Chlanda, covers the history, the rigs, a chief's roster, and of course, lots of funny and also sad stories of Maples. Plenty of pictures, newspaper articles, and other ephemera are included to give a richer experience.
