Fire fighters put out unwanted fires. They stay on duty in the fire station until someone rings the emergency services and asks for the fire service. Then the fire fighters get out their shiny red fire engine. It has all the fire fighting equipment. They switch on the alarm bell and set out the fire as quickly as possible. The hose is rolled up into a coil on the fire engine. When fire fighters get to the fire they attach the hose to a fire hydrant in the street. Then they turn the water supply on. They point their hoses at the flames. There is a ladder on the fire engine. Fire fighters climb up it to reach the flames in the upper part of a building. They also use it to rescue people from burning buildings. They carry them down the ladder to safety. Fire fighters risk their lives for others. They are very strong and brave people. We should thank them for the dangerous work they do.
