In this book children will find out more about one of their favorite rescue vehicles—the ambulance. Lights, sirens, horns and other parts of the ambulance are described. A tour of the inside of this vehicle shows the reader where supplies are kept as well as how patients are transported. Readers will see the equipment used by the EMTs.
