The first pages

Rowan and his moms walked to the firehall for the open house. A shiny red fire truck sat inside, with its big doors open wide.

Firefighter Garcia showed them the hoses, the ladders and the tall shiny pole. "When the alarm rings, we get ready very fast," she said.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.

Talk time questions

  • What gear does a firefighter wear?
  • What should you do if you see a firefighter in full gear?
  • How often should a family test the smoke alarm?
