A Day in the Life of a Firefighter

Rob Elliot has worked as a firefighter for eight years. Rob’s day starts at 9 a.m. Rob and other firefighters meet in front of the fire station to get their instructions for the day. “Every day is different,” says Rob. “On some days, I drive the fire engine. On other days, I wear the breathing equipment (呼吸裝備) and go to the scenes on fire. I enjoy every part of my job.”

Firefighters rescue people from all kinds of situations (情況).” People call us to road accidents, heavy rain, railroad stops and chemical spills (化學品泄漏),” says Rob.

But firefighters do more than rescuing people. They give first aid (緊急救護), and they clean up and check scenes after an accident. They often work together with the police and doctors. They also teach people about fire safety.

Today, Rob and Jenny, another firefighter, were busy checking the equipment. But suddenly, there was a call. A house was on fire and there were two people trapped (被困) in an upstairs bedroom. The firefighters jumped into the fire engines and raced to the house. Rob and Jenny ran upstairs while the rest of the team used hoses to put out the fire. Rob and Jenny found a mother and a daughter in one of the bedrooms. They opened a window and helped the mother and her little girl to climb down a ladder. Soon the fire was out and everyone was safe. “And it’s still only eleven o’clock!” said Rob.
