About

In Blazing Red Publishing was created by Will Schoettler, the author of our namesake book. It all started when his son, who absolutely adores cars and trucks, started showing a particular interest in fire trucks. Looking for a way to share in the enthusiasm and inspired by the stories they were already reading, Will decided to try to write a book. This led to the creation of In Blazing Red, which has become the top-requested bedtime story at the Schoettler residence.

In Blazing Red has also always had a second purpose in Will's mind, which was to say thank you in a small way to the fire fighters from Minneapolis Fire Station 21 who saved their house from a fire in 2018. They got to the house blazing fast and were decisive, careful and efficient. The fire was handled in minutes.


In Blazing Red Publishing is proud to apply Choose Movement principles in every aspect of how we operate. We are excited to help demonstrate that consideration for our employee and customer well-being combined with long-term decision making can result in better growth and success than a profit-first strategy.
