When firefighters from Fire District 1 visit our school for Fire Safety Day, we learn that there are firefighters who fight forest fires and work at airports to help with airplane emergencies. Did you know that there are other kinds of firefighters too There are firefighters who figure out how a fire started and fight fires before they even happen. Maybe I'll be a firefighter, too
