Learn about how firefighters use ladders to help people in danger, and discover how their special ladders can reach really high places.
Firefighters are very brave people who help keep us safe from fires and emergencies. When there is a fire, they rush in to rescue people and put out the fire.
Firefighters have special tools they use, and one important tool is their ladder!
This ladder is not just any ladder; it can slide up really high! Imagine a tall tree or even a big building. If someone is stuck way up there, the firefighter can make the ladder go up, up, up to help them!
The ladder is designed to extend and slide. Firefighters pull a rope or push a button, and the ladder can grow longer!
This is important because it lets firefighters save people who might be in trouble high off the ground. They can reach windows and rooftops quickly to help!
So, when you see a firefighter's ladder, remember that it is a special tool that helps them slide up really high to keep everyone safe!
