Firefighters

Firefighters are busy all the time.  One of the firefighters has to check to see if the fire hoses are screwed on tightly to the truck. When the bell rings, firefighters slide down a pole and a thick pad cushions their feet.  Somebody hooks the hose to the nearest fire hydrant so they can spray the burning house with water. Firefighters have to hold tightly to the hose.Their air tanks only hold forty minutes of air to breathe.

Firefighters have flashlights to see through the dark smoke.  Firefighters have saws and axes to break through doors, roofs, and walls.  Helmets protect the firefighters' heads from being damaged.  They have suits to protect them from big and small fires.  Always remember your fire plan because if there is a fire in your home, you would have to get out safely.
