Fighting Fires

Look at these truck! They all help put out fires.

This is a ladder truck. The ladder can go up, up, up. Firefighters go up the ladder. They get as close as they can to the fire. Then they use a hose to spray water on it.

This truck has a pump in it. The pump pushes water into the hose. The water can come from two places. It can come from a tank in the truck. Or it can come from a fire hydrant.

This truck has a big tank on it. Firefighters fill the tank with water. They get the water from ponds or swimming pools.

Fire trucks can get to house fires. But if a boat is on the fire, Firefighters need a fireboat! A fireboat never runs out of water!
