Passage 2
Fire is to blame for the loss of countless lives and billions of rupees each and every year. Firefighters help
protect people and their property from injury and damage. They put their lives on the line every time they
respond to a call.
While on duty, firefighters must be ready to respond in a matter of minutes to just about any disaster that
may occur. At every fire scene, a superior fire officer takes command and directs the jobs of all the people
at the scene. Some firemen connect the hose lines to hydrants. Others manually operate the pumps to send
water to the hoses. Teams of firefighters also operate ladders used to reach distances high in the air.
