For the child who says, “I want to be a firefighter when I grow up!” And for any child who wants a gentle behind-the-scenes look at being a firefighter.
My brother and I both want to be firefighters, but we can’t decide what kind to be. When firefighters from Fire District 1 visit our school for Fire Safety Day, we learn that there are firefighters who fight forest fires and work at airports to help with airplane emergencies. Did you know that there are other kinds of firefighters too? There are firefighters who figure out how a fire started and fight fires before they even happen. Maybe I’ll be a firefighter, too?
With this story blending narrative with nonfiction, readers meet the many different kinds of firefighters who do so much to support our communities.
