We are SO-O-O excited to go to the fire station！

Each fire truck has special equipment (ee-KWIP-muhnt) that is used to put out fires.

Firefighters keep their gear in the garage next to their trucks. It protects them and helps them to do their job.

Firefighters carry lots of extra tools to use in an emergency (ee-MUR-juhn-see). Ladders and axes can help them reach someone trapped in a burning building.

Fire drills are important, and not just for firefighters. Everyone should be ready for an emergency. Most fires are started by accident.

Firefighters have an amazing job! It is so cool that they help so many people and keep us safe.
