Fire-fighters

Firemen and firewomen are also called fire-fighters. They work in teams. One fire-fighter drives the fire-engine. The other fire-fighters use the hoses and ladders.

When there is a fire in a tall building, fire-fighters use long ladders. The longest ladders are 50 metres high. Sometimes there is a cage at the top of a long ladder.

Fire-fighters stand in the cage to rescue people. Fire- fighters are strong and very brave. They go into burning buildings to rescue people.

Sometimes a fire-fighter is hurt or killed. Sometimes there are fires in forests when the weather is dry. When there is a forest fire, many trees are burned. If the fire is big, a lot of fire-fighters are needed to put it out. Sometimes fire-fighters use aeroplanes or helicopters to drop water from above to put out forest fires.

What should you do when there is a fire in your home?

You should tell your parents or an adult immediately. Get everyone out of the flat, house or building. Close the door. Never go back into the fire. Call for a fire-engine.

If you cannot get out, you should close the door and cover up all the cracks so smoke cannot come in. Open all the windows in the room and shout so people can hear you. If you cannot open the windows, smash them with a chair!
