We had a job experience day in the fire station today. We hear the alarm and got 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 learnt how to put out fire and save people from fire. Fighting fires is really dangerous. All firemen are brave.
