Talking to a Firefighter
Have you ever wondered about firefighters? Let's listen to some questions and answers.
Child: Hello! What is your name?
Firefighter: Hi there! My name is Alex. It's nice to meet you.
Child: What do you do as a firefighter?
Firefighter: I help people when they are in danger. I put out fires. I also help people who are hurt.
Child: Wow! How do you put out fires?
Firefighter: We use big hoses with water. Sometimes, we use foam to cover the fire. That stops the fire from getting bigger.
Child: Do you ever get scared?

Child: What is your favorite part of being a firefighter?
Firefighter: My favorite part is helping people. It feels good to make sure everyone is safe.
