Fighting Fires

Fighting fires.

灭火。

Look at these trucks. They all help put out fires.

快看这些卡车，它们都是用来帮忙灭火的。

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.

这是云梯消防车，云梯可以升呀升呀升得很高，消防员们顺着云梯往上爬。 他们尽可能靠近着火点，然后用水管朝着火的地方喷水。

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.

这辆消防车里面装着水泵，水泵会把水抽到水管里。 灭火的水有两个来源：可以来自车上的水箱，也可以来自消防栓。

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

这辆车上装着一个大水箱，消防员会从池塘或者游泳池取水把水箱装满。

Fire trucks can get to house fires, but if a boat is on fire, firefighters need a fire boat. A fire boat never runs out of water.

普通消防车可以去灭房屋着火，可如果是船着火了，消防员就得用消防艇啦。 消防艇永远都不会缺水用哦。
