When The Smoke Clears - How a Firefighter's Struggles with Trauma Shaped a Life of Adventure

di Robert Howell (Autore)

Robert Howell, 2026

When The Smoke Clears is a sweeping, emotionally charged memoir about a life lived at full intensity — from the fireground to the mountaintops, from childhood trauma to global travel, from tragedy to joy, from danger to meaning. Across 24 years with the Ventura County Fire Department, Robert Howell witnessed the extremes of human experience all at a personal cost: death, miracles, grief, courage, fear, and the quiet moments that change a person forever. But firefighting is only one part of his story. He built and flew a homemade hang glider off a mountain at 17. He traveled to 45 countries. He climbed Himalayan peaks. He surfed big waves. He delivered babies, revived drowning victims, and held dying strangers. He trained for American Ninja Warrior at 64. He survived trauma, loss, and near-death experiences — and still chose joy. When The Smoke Clears is ultimately a memoir about Trauma and recovery through adventure, told by a man who spent decades confronting death.
