What do firefighters do?

Firefighters help because fires are hot. They spray water on flames. They help people get out. Their truck goes loud, wee-oo!

Firefighters help when there is a fire or someone is stuck. Fire is very hot, so they wear special clothes and spray water to make the flames go out. They also help people and pets get to a safe place. It is like when a grown-up helps you move away from something too hot to touch.

Firefighters protect people, animals, homes, and forests. They put out fires with hoses, water, and special foam. They wear gear, which means strong coats, helmets, and air tanks, so heat and smoke hurt them less. They also rescue people from car crashes, floods, and high places. Fun fact: some fire trucks carry ladders taller than a big apartment building!
