Que Hace Un Bombero? / What Does a Firefighter Do?

Children's Literature - Ramirose Attebury Wendt

It goes without saying that firefighters risk their lives to put out dangerous fires. But what else do they do during a typical day at work? This Level A book in the "Yellow Umbrella Books" series shows firefighters in a wide range of occupational activities. Ensuring that their fire trucks and other equipment are in working order is a must! Firefighters also respond to vehicle accidents and help take injured or sick people to safety. In addition to spending time training for emergencies, they also take time to educate young people about the dangers of fire and how to reduce fire risks. As for the firefighting job itself, this book shows firefighters breaking through a wall to reach the fire, as well as helping to put out forest fires by digging ditches around the fire and by using helicopters to dump huge buckets of water on burning areas. The glossy photographs that accompany each page depict the exact scenes described by the text. The final page of the book contains a combined glossary and index. This easy read would make a useful tool when discussing careers or fire safety.
