Has a firefighter ever visited your school?
Each community pays for its own fire department. Some firefighters even sleep at the fire station in case there is a fire during the night. In some areas, firefighters are volunteers. Volunteer firefighters have other jobs, but when there is a fire, they are there to help.
Firefighters put out fires, and try to help prevent fires from starting. They teach you how to STOP, DROP, and ROLL if your clothes catch on fire. They also make sure that buildings and homes are as safe as they can be. They make sure there are smoke detectors and sprinklers in public buildings.
