Green, who has spent years serving the community as a firefighter, was motivated to write this book to enhance his educational presentations in neighborhoods and schools that experience higher incidents of fire. His aim is not only to inform but also to engage young readers by making learning about fire safety enjoyable.

Supporting Youth Through Community Engagement

Proceeds from the book will benefit Green’s nonprofit organization, PPCH, Inc. (Pain, Perseverance, Character, Hope). This organization focuses on providing mentorship and support to at-risk youth, helping them navigate through tough circumstances by empowering them with hope and motivation.
