介绍:
5. Fire fighters
There are about 5,000 fire fighters in Chicago. Tim is one of them. He is on duty eight hours every day. During his shift, he eats and sleeps at the firehouse. The fire fighters have to be ready to answer an alarm at any hour of the day or night. Most of the alarms are for small fires. They can be put out in a few minutes.
Big fires are very dangerous. Most of the time, the greatest danger comes from smoke. Sometimes, fire fighters have to enter burning buildings in order to rescue the people inside.
Tim has been a fire fighter for five years. He's proud of himself and of his service. He does exercises every day to stay strong.
