| A Day in the Life of A Firefighter By Brandi Chase. Photographs by Barry Staver. |
Photo of a grinning firefighter. She wears a full uniform and hard hat. |
| I am a firefighter. I am ready to help in any kind of emergency, day or night. | The firefighter sits at a table with her team. A badge on her shoulder says "Los Angeles Fire Department." |
| Firefighters take turns living at the firehouse. We shop, cook, and eat together. We always eat healthy food. | Three photos. Photo 1: A big fire engine sits in front of a building. Photo 2: Firefighters buy vegetables at the grocery store. Photo 3: The firefighters make a big salad! |
| We all help out at the firehouse. It is my job to make sure that we have all of our tools. | The firefighter examines her open toolbox. |
| Firefighters stay busy in between emergencies. We exercise together. We help each other stay healthy and strong. | Two firefighters run on treadmills. |
| When there is an emergency, we must be ready to go right away! | Three photos. Photo 1: A dalmatian watches as the firefighter slides down a fire pole. Photo 2: The firefighter runs to the fire engine. Photo 3: The fire engine leaves the firehouse. |
| Look out! Here comes our fire engine. It takes us to the emergency. | The fire engine has big wheels, tall ladders, and flashing lights. |
| The fire captain is in charge. He decides the best way to fight the fire. We work together. | Two photos. Photo 1: Two firefighters attach a big hose to the fire engine. Photo 2: The fire captain gives instructions. |
| We are lucky. It is only a very small fire. We quickly put it out. | They spray water from the fire hose. |
| Now it's time to put the fire hose away. It takes the whole team to do it! We always clean up so that we are ready for the next emergency. | Two photos. Photo 1: The firefighters lay the empty fire hose on the ground. Photo 2: They store the hose in the fire engine. |
| I like to help in an emergency. I am proud to be a firefighter. | The firefighter smiles! |
