Friday Sunny
We had a job experience day at the fire station today. We heard the alarm and received a fire call. A house was on fire and a child was on the sofa in the bedroom. We put on the fireman uniforms, rushed to the house, saved the child and put out the fire. From this experience, we learned how to put out fire and save people from fire. Fighting fires is very dangerous, and firemen are brave.
