Dear readers,

Firefighters help in all kinds of sudden serious and 3.(danger) events or situations. I saw firefighters carrying people from their flooded homes while4.(watch) the news today. Often, they are the first helpers when5.accident happens. Some firefighters train to help people and pets that fall into frozen lakes. To prepare for real-life rescue like this one, they must practice putting 6.ice suits, working with ropes, and using hand signals to communicate. If you want to learn more about these 7./ breiv / men and women, read the article Danger! Rescue on Thin Ice.
Where would we be without the first helpers? Maybe you’ ll 8. / d??? n/ me this month in finding a way to thank them. Giving a card, a drawing, or a plate of cookies to your local fire 9./?ste???n/ could be the start of a new tradition for your families—and our 10.(hero) will be thankful for it.
