A popular career choice for most five year olds, firefighting conjures images of pump trucks, sirens, and ladders. This informative and fun ABC journey gives a bit of firefighting history with ""B is for bucket brigade"" and moves into the 21st century with ""T is for thermal imaging camera."" The colorful illustrations sport a spotted Dalmatian hidden on every page.
