The alarm sounds. FIRE FIRE Big trucks roll out of the firehouse and race to the scene. Out come the soft hoses and aerial ladders.

Whether the fire is in the city or in the country, on the waterfront or in a deep forest, fire fighters are on the scene in moments, ready to attack the blaze.

Fire Fire teaches beginning readers about the important job of fire fighters in the community. The book includes a glossary in the back with fire-fighting equipment keywords as well as a list of ways to prevent a fire and what to do if there is a fire.
