Description
A warehouse in a large city catches fire late at night. The flames spread to every floor, and nearby buildings are in danger of being caught up in the blaze. Suddenly, ear-piercing sirens fill the air. Trucks speed down a busy street. They stop in front of the warehouse, and firefighters rush out to contain the deadly blaze before anyone gets hurt. In City Firefighters, dramatic, true stories will keep readers turning the pages as they learn firsthand how these tough, brave firefighters use their strength, quick thinking, and expert skills to battle deadly blazes. In addition, readers will go behind the scenes to learn how city firefighters train for their job so that they are ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice.

A well-written book giving a good overview of a city firefighter's life, from fire to vehicle rescues, along with behind-the-scenes information about training requirements, shift work and living at the station. The pages explaining the different types of fire trucks and about each piece of protective gear will be a magnet for the information-seeking child, while words in bold are included in a glossary at the end.
It does include pictures and text about the Twin Towers on 9/11, so be alert if this may cause problems.
