FIREFIGHTERS Art © 2014 by Tedd Arnold Firefighters have an important and dangerous job. They need about 50 pounds of special gear to stay safe. They get dressed quickly, in less than one minute! Firefighters are real heroes! A helmet protects their head from falling objects. Fire rescue dogs wear extra gear too. Fireproof pants and gloves protect their bodies. A mask helps them see in smoky places. An oxygen tank lets them breathe fresh air. Created exclusively for you by Scholastic Book Clubs
