What is Flashing Fire Engines about?

A team of animal firefighters is ready for action. When an emergency call comes in, they slide down the pole, race away in their bright red engine and hurry towards the blaze. Sirens wail, lights flash and hoses spray as the brave crew works together to put out the fire. Rhyming text and lively illustrations introduce young readers to the parts of a fire engine and the important jobs firefighters do, making this an energetic story about teamwork, rescue and helping others.
