Helps every young viewer recognize firefighters as their brave friends who are ready and able to help in emergencies. The video follows a class field trip to a fire station, where Red the Firedog teaches kids about the education and training firefighters need to do their job.

In an emergency, kids may become scared of the equipment and clothing used by a firefighter. This video shows how firefighters use each tool, and what it's like to put on the "turnout" gear they wear when entering a fire.

Red the Firedog goes on to explain the daily life of a firefighter, and how kids can pitch in by preventing fires at home by identifying fire hazards, making safe escape plans, along with information on how to treat minor burns.
