Fire Fighters

Firefights are people who are trained to put out fires. They are also trained to
rescue people and animals in dragons situations.

Firefighters put out fires in buildings they spray water from long
hoses onto the flames. The hoses are connected to water tanks
on the fire trucks or to fire hydrants nearby.

Firefighters wear special uniforms. Their uniforms are made from
material that does not burn easily. They wear hard hats, thick gloves
and strong boots for protection.         

Firefighters rescue people and animals from burning buildings and from
dragerous floodwaters. They also rescue people who are trapped in
vehicles at road accidents.

Many firefights teach people how to stay safe
when there is a fire.

Firefighters are important people in the community.
