Flame 2008, 154, 478–488. [ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] From the first, the bright illustrations reveal that this is not an all-white fire company. What is even more exciting is the surprise near the end. When all is safe, after the dramatic rescue of a baby from a burning apartment, the rescuer removes the visored fire helmet, and we discover that our hero is a female firefighter!

This picture book embraces the drama of responding to a fire, showing firefighters sliding down their pole, heading out to the fire, and then putting it out. Along the way, they hook the hose up to the fire hydrant, save a baby, and head directly into the burning building. The book is filled with sounds like alarms sounding, sirens blaring, smashing windows, and the water rushing out of the hose. Climactic and action-filled, this picture book is perfect for the youngest fire-fighting enthusiasts. R Core Team.
