Firefighters
Community Helpers
Lights flash, sirens sound, and a fire truck speeds down the street toward a burning building. This may sound thrilling, but fighting fires ultimately requires an extreme amount of dedication and courage. This book gives young readers a glimpse of the risks firefighters face, as well as the heroism that helps save lives. Additional features include a table of contents, informational captions and sidebars, a phonetic glossary, sources for further research, an index, a Think-About-It section, and an introduction to the author.
