Meet the fire department If a fire happens, an adult will call 9-1-1.
When they call for emergency help, the fire department will send their firefighting team.
They will drive through town in a big truck with flashing lights and a loud siren.
When the firetruck arrives, it might be very loud and bright.
They will attach the hose to the fire hydrant to gain access to water and extinguish the fire.
Firefighters have a special uniform, they wear:
