not doubting ya.sp1187, those stories are true. This garbage incinerator had 4 huge furnaces running and they were like 50' long, steel and of course very hot.
I sent "Mike" to work on top of one of the furnaces that was off and cool.
Later I was looking for him and he was on one of the furnaces that was burning and red hot.
I yelled "Warren", I mean "Mike" get off of that thing before you die.
He got down and says to me. "You know, my shoes were melting to the steel".
I said "You think!!!"
and i would buy the book.
