INFERNO! Reviews and References

Inferno! and the Miracles of the Colorado Marshall Fire is an in-depth, fast-paced, true account of a devastating disaster…Well-written and well-edited, this is a remarkable record of a modern day disaster.

PM Newman – Amazon

The comprehensive level of research done by the author is evident on every page. Fire and law enforcement dispatch recordings were reviewed, and fire chiefs, firefighters, residents, and town officials were interviewed about their personal experiences.

Glenda Vosburgh – US Review of Books

More compelling is the book’s coverage of individuals who lived through the fire, many of whom lost their homes and possessions in the blaze. Their contributions are touching and humanize the book…

Eileen Gonzalez – Foreword Reviews

In his coverage of the fire, Gormley takes a multi-faceted approach, describing the history of the area, the fire’s possible causes, steps taken to fight it and the people involved, routes taken by evacuees, and personal accounts of some of the victims and firefighters.

Blueink Review
