Firefighters are based at a building called a "fire station" (also known as a "firehouse" or "fire hall"). When their help is needed, they drive a vehicle called a "fire engine" or "fire truck" to the scene responding code 1 code 2 or code 3.These vehicles can pump water and foam to put out fires. Fire engines also carry ladders, cutting tools and lots of different types of rescue equipment. Most carry first aid kits to help people who are injured or hurt.
