People who help us: Firefighters
Simon Cooper, who is a firefighter, loves helping people. We asked Simon about his job.
Where do you work?
I work in a fire station. The people at the fire station are either firefighters or people who help them. The fire station, which is near my house, is not very big and I know everyone there.
What do you do each day?
We have to wait upstairs in the fire station. Usually, we are training when we wait. When there is a fire, which happens every day, there is a loud alarm and flashing lights. Then we slide down and run to the fire engine. We have to drive quickly to the fire. We use long hoses, which we carry on the fire engine, to put out the fire. My job, which can be dangerous, is also very exciting. I really love it.
What do you wear?
We wear a special uniform. The uniform, which is bright yellow, helps people see us easily.
5.1. The people in the fire station are just firefighters.
