l~l

name is Azmin and I am a firefighter. My day starts
at 8:00 a.m. Eachmorning, our supervisor briefs us on
the work we will be carrying out for the day. We check
the tools and equipment to make sure that they are in
good condition.
A quick response is needed every time we receive
an emergency call. It could be a house on fire, a kitten
trapped on a tree or a snake found in a house. In any of
these cases, I am ready to help. However, there are cases
of prank calls from people who report false emergencies.
These put real lives in danger because it is a waste of
time and resources. Sometimes I give fire safety talks
and monitor fire drills in schools. It is important to know
these safety tips. Eachbuilding must have an escape route
where people can run to safety in case of a fire. Smoke
detectors and fire extinguishers can help save lives.
I love my work very much because I feel satisfied
being able to help and serve my community.
