FUZZY TWIG AND THE FIRE DRILL

ONE DAY WHILE FUZZY WAS IN HER SCHOOL CLASS ROOM MRS. SNAPPYBRANCH, THE TEACHER, TOLD THE CLASS THE FIRE FIGHTERS FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD BE COMING FOR A VISIT.

THE FIRE FIGHTERS TOLD THE CLASS MANY THINGS ABOUT FIRE SAFETY. THEIR INSTRUCTIONS TOLD THE CLASS ABOUT HOW TO LEAVE THE SCHOOL BUILDING IN CASE OF A FIRE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT FIRE DRILLS AND WHY THEY WERE NEEDED. EVERYONE NEEDS PRACTICE SO THEY WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO IF THERE IS FIRE DANGER. THEY ALSO TOLD THE CHILDREN ABOUT HOW TO LEAVE THEIR OWN HOMES IF A FIRE BREAKS OUT.

THEY THEN HAD A FIRE DRILL AND THE FIRE FIGHTERS MADE SURE THE CHILDREN KNEW JUST HOW TO GET SAFELY OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.

FUZZY TWIG WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN THE FIRE FIGHTERS AND TALKED TO ONE OF THEM. FIRE FIGHTERS LOVE LITTLE CHILDREN AND THIS ONE WAS PLEASED TO TALK TO FUZZY. SHE ASKED HIM IF THERE WERE GIRL FIRE FIGHTERS. HE TOLD HER YES. THEY DID HAVE SEVERAL LADIES WHO FOUGHT FIRES AND SOME OF THEM WERE EVEN MOTHERS WITH SMALL CHILDREN. THE NEXT TIME THEY CAME TO SCHOOL FOR A VISIT THEY WOULD BRING A LADY FIRE FIGHTER WITH THEM. THIS MADE FUZZY HAPPY AND SHE DECIDED TO BECOME A FIRE FIGHTER WHEN SHE GREW UP.

WHEN FUZZY WENT HOME SHE TOLD HER FAMILY SHE WANTED TO GROW UP TO BE A FIRE FIGHTER. THORNY JUST SAID, "HA!" KNOBBY SAID. "THEY DON'T HAVE LADY FIRE FIGHTERS, IT IS TOO DANGEROUS." FUZZY SAID, "THEY DO TOO. THE FIRE FIGHTER SAID SO. SOME OF THEM ARE EVEN MOTHERS! SO THERE TOO!" TWIGMAN SAID IT IS NICE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO BECOME AND CAN WORK TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. LEAFY TWIG SAID IT WAS VERY NICE TO EARN YOUR LIVING BY HELPING OTHERS, EVEN IF IT WAS A DANGEROUS JOB. FUZZY WAS PLEASED HE PARENTS LIKED HER IDEA AND FROM THAT TIME ON WHEN SHE PLAYED GROWN UP, SHE ALWAYS PLAYED SHE WAS A FIRE FIGHTER.
