This is story is dedicated to the men and women who respond to releases of hazardous materials in transit. These dedicated individuals aren't hip shooting cowboys that rush in where angels fear to tread. They are professionals that work very methodically and with great care to minimize personal danger before addressing life and environmentally threatening situations. The instances in this story are true; however, the chronology, characters, and locations are fiction. All the descriptions of the incidents were told to me by responders to places like Covington, Tennessee, Reimage River in Wisconsin, and Ozark, Arkansas. During my training sessions in Pueblo, Colorado, many stories, mostly true but some admittedly embellished, were told by many different responders from all major railroads and emergency service organizations.

Set within the backdrop of life in small town America, Yellow Sky is the story of loyalty, humor, greed, betrayal and murder. Bull Tarkel is a factory worker and volunteer firefighter whose life becomes intertwined with all of those situations. He finds that for each blessing there always seems to be a curse. The Bible tells us that, "Where there are two or more of you gathered in God's name, there He is also." Yellow Sky illustrates that the same can be said about those gathering for evil intent.
