Name: To the rescue!
Author: Monica Kulling

To the Rescue! tells the true story of African‑American inventor Garrett Morgan and the groundbreaking safety hood he created. In 1911 Morgan responded to the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, designing a protective hood for firefighters. Though early sales stalled because of racial bias, his device proved vital when workers were trapped during a 1916 Lake Erie tunnel explosion and later saved countless soldiers from chlorine gas in World War I. The book celebrates Morgan’s ingenuity and his lasting impact on safety technology.
