My Uncle Is a Firefighter

My Uncle Is a Firefighter

My name is Tillie, and my uncle is a firefighter. Today I get to visit him at the fire station.

Uncle Jason gives me a tour. Just like my house, the fire station has a kitchen, but this kitchen has three refrigerators! That's because firefighters work in twenty-four hour shifts, and each shift has its own refrigerator.

Next stop on the tour is Uncle Jason's bedroom. It has a television, couch, and bed. After sleeping, he puts fresh sheets on the bed for the next firefighter.

Next, Uncle Jason shows me the day room. This is where the firefighters hang out after chores are done. I climb into one of the big chairs and watch television with the guys. Most of the time, though, they're busy helping people and making sure their equipment is ready.

Next, we go to the most exciting part of the fire station-the garage. Two fire trucks are waiting, ready to handle any emergency.
