1-26 The Firefighter

A firefighter may work all day and all night.  A fire can start at anytime.  A firefighter must be ready to work everyday of the year.  Firefighters must be ready to work on holidays such as Christmas, Fourth of July, and Labor Day.  Some firefighters work other jobs too.  They go to fires from their work place.  In big towns, firefighters work and live at the fire station many days at a time.
