Fire Fighters - Our Heroes



Fire Fighters came to talk to us about the work they do.  They work as a team and they have to be fit and strong to fight fires. When their siren sounds they have to get dressed and jump into their fire truck as fast as they can, so they can get to a fire quickly. The boss said how 
important it is for his team to be honest and to use common sense so the team can work at their best.  The clothes they wear 
are fireproof so they don't get burnt. They wear helmets to protect their heads in a burning building.  They carry oxygen tanks and use oxygen masks, so they can breathe in a smoke filled, burning building.  Their equipment is heavy.  This is Mrs Sharma wearing all the fire-fighting gear.  Fire fighters do lots of other jobs, too.  They can help to rescue people out of crashed cars with their special equipment, or they can even rescue animals. Their truck's have enormous ladders on them to rescue people up high in a burning building.  Fire fighters help to keep us safe.
