Firestorm 1. Firestorm

I was interested that this turned out to be a straight guy story as jaysalmn says, despite the start, and the sudden change from firefighting to joining the army was unexpected. Despite the young age of the main character he seems to be too mature, in fact I feel he would be more of a recluse, taking life too seriously: I pity his stepson and children as he does not appear to be able to be a fun dad. Although there are some slips in the story from 1st to 3rd person I can see past those, but my main moan is the shallowness of the character, it could do with more insights into his thinking or feelings to flesh it out and make it more 3D, more human.

Another great story read all of them and can not wait for the next part

A very good story, but unfortunate that you strayed from the original idea and made it a "straight guy" story.

I enjoyed this story. Just like in living life, you may plan one thing, but life gets in the way of your plans. This is the story of one man's twist of plans.

Good story, but like an other comment it did not touch on his return to his home town.

Also it said in previous chapters that he was going back for his

fire company training and now a twist that he is going to England????

Another fantastic story Quokka. You kept. us gripped with this tale about Mitch as he went from strength to strength after leaving his home town and then eventually returning to save it. Well worth reading.
