REBECCA SNIFFS

Are you all right, Rebecca?

Yeah. I'm OK.

Rebecca, what's wrong?

Nothing, Sid. Carry on reading your magazine.

REBECCA SNIFFS

You look so sad!

I'm not sad. I'm just peeling an onion.

They always make me cry!

Step aside and let the Sid see the onion.

Root vegetable, prepare to be prepared. And...

It really is strong!

Are you sure you can do this?

Of course I can. It's only an onion.

SID SNIFFS AND SOBS

We'll never get the onion soup made at this rate.

-I wish we were making potato soup.

-Anything but onion!

-Hold on. It's time.

-Great!

-It's time to play!

-Whose turn is it today?

-Let it be me!

-Let it be me!

-Me!

-Me!

# Let it be me, let it be me

# Let it be me

# Let it be me

# Let it be me, let it be me

# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me

# Let, let, let, let, let, let, let it be me

# Let it be me, let it be me

# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me... #

-Could it be me?

-Could it be me?

It's me!

# Yes, it's me, yes, it's me

# I'm really, really really, really happy. #

It's me!

Look, there's the dressing up room.

# Let's play... #

What are we going to play?

Let's find out.

An ancient Egyptian headdress, a mountain-climber's outfit

and ballerina shoes?

I don't think so!

Let's try again.

This time we've got on a yellow helmet,

a jacket, trousers and boots.

I know what this means. We're going to play firefighters.

What do we need to know?

First of all, firefighters are brave people who put out dangerous fires.

Firefighters must always be ready to leap into action.

Their equipment must always be ready

because every second counts when you're fighting a fire.

Firefighters travel to a fire in a fire engine.

They drive very fast because the quicker they can get to a fire,

the quicker they can put it out.

They use a loud siren to let people know they are coming

so they can move out of the way.

As well as flames, another hazard in a fire is the smoke.

To help them breathe when smoke is around them,

firefighters wear breathing equipment

that allows them to breathe in a smoky room.

That's what we need to remember.

Do we need anything else?

Birdseed? Well, that's a surprise!

I wonder what that's for?

I'm sure it will come in handy.

OK, we've got everything we need.

Let's go!

# Let's play. #

Wooh-wooh, nee-nah, nee-nah, wooh-wooh, wooh-wooh!

Wooh, hoo-hoo, hoo! Eh, Sid, can you guess what we're playing today?

No, I can't see, Rebecca. I can't see anything.

My eyes are watering from peeling this onion.

We're going to play firefighters!

SID SOBS AND SNIFFS

I'm really happy for you. Have a nice time.

Will do! Wooh-wooh!

SID SOBS

# Let's play. #

Let's play firefighters!

Woah!

REBECCA LAUGHS

Oooh!

# Let's play. #

Where are we?

It looks like we're in a street.

We need to find a fire station.

You need to be in a fire engine if you're a firefighter.

I can't have a firefighting adventure without a fire engine.

Where is it?

Ooh!

A fire engine! A real fire engine!

We really are in the right place!

I like fire engines.

So red and so shiny!

Look! There's a ladder on the top.

I reckon it's one of those that goes really long and really high.

Oh! Look at this!

A real fire hose!

Pshhhhh! Stand back! Firefighter Rebecca, here to save the day!

Pshhhhh! Pshhhhh! Firefighter Rebecca reporting for duty!

-Pshhhh!

-It's about time too!

-Oh! Hello!

-Hello, fire chief Adair!

Firefighter Rebecca reporting for duty.

That's better. A fire station should always be clean and tidy.

What should a fire station be?

-Erm... Clean and tidy?

-That's right!

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

So why is that in such a tangle?

-Why is what in such a tangle?

-That hose, in a tangle, on the floor.

Oh, er... I found it like this?

We can't have tangled fire hoses in a fire station. Why is that?

I... Erm...

Ooh, we need to get this question right to prove we're a firefighter.

Come on, you can get this.

What is it we need to know?

BELL TINKLES

Oh, I remember. Do you?

That's it! Firefighters must always be ready to leap into action.

The fire equipment must always be ready.

Every second counts when you're fighting a fire.

That's it! Well done, Firefighter Rebecca.

You'll fit in around here just fine.

Phew!

-Fire chief Adair?

-Hmm?

Will we be fighting a fire today?

Who knows? But we must be ready and waiting at all times.

This town is relying on us, if there is a fire.

Right. Let's untangle this hose.

Phew!

# Let's play. #

OK, that's the fire hose sorted.

Now all we need is a...

ALARM BELL RINGS

Woah! An alarm!

A fire!

ALARM BELL RINGS

Firefighter Rebecca, where are you?

I'm here.

Where is she?

Firefighter Rebecca...woah!

-There you are! This is an emergency. Is everything ready?

-Yes, sir.

Time is of the essence.

We need to make our way to the Badcrust Bakery right away!

OK. Er...

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

-We'll take the fire engine.

-Yes. Of course.

Of course.

# Let's play. #

This is beyond exciting!

We're in a proper fire engine being proper firefighters.

No time to chat, we've got to get a move on

if we're going to put that fire out.

Yes, sir.

Come on, step on it.

Oh, right, sir.

Ooh!

Oh, this is great!

Oh, what's that?

-There's something in the road.

-Slow down, firefighter Rebecca.

SID WHISTLES

What is that?

It's a tractor. I don't think he's seen you.

We need to get past him right away!

-This is an emergency.

-No worries.

Leave it to me. I'll sort this out.

Hello! Excuse me, we're in a bit of a hurry.

Do you mind moving your tractor?

MUSIC PLAYS OUT OF HEADPHONES

REBECCA WHISTLES

CAN YOU MOVE, PLEASE?

MUSIC PLAYS OUT OF HEADPHONES

Come on, you know what to do!

Erm... Do I?

How can we get the tractor to move?

What is it we need to know?

BELL TINKLES

Hold on. I've remembered. Do you?

That's it!

Firefighters use sirens to let people know they're coming

so they can move out of the way.

That's it! I'll use the sirens.

I'll use the sirens.

That's the way. Hit that siren.

Oh, no. That's not it.

Oh, no.

Oh. Here it is. This is it.

SIREN WAILS

-There we go.

-What?!

Thank you! Thanks, sir!

That got him moving all right.

That siren is really loud!

How much fun is this?!

Right. We're on our way again.

-Good work, firefighter Rebecca. Drive carefully now.

-Will do, sir.

This is a great way of getting around.

Hold on, Rebecca. More people in the way.

SIREN WAILS

Thank you. Thanks very much.

REBECCA SNIFFS

-Can you smell something, sir?

-Yes, smells like toast.

SID SNIFFS

Burnt toast!

-Yes, so it is!

-That must be the smell of the bakery on fire.

Not far now. Put your foot down!

Yes, sir. Come on, firefighters. We've got work to do.

Here they are. The firefighters. They've arrived.

Just in time. Thank goodness!

-Thank you for coming.

-OK, stand back, everyone. Stand well back.

Thank goodness you're here!

I was in the kitchen. I thought I could smell smoke.

I went to the front of the shop and sure enough,

there it was, smoke and then I saw the flames...

No problem, sir. What say we talk about this when your bakery

isn't burning to the ground?

Of course. I suppose you want to get on with putting the fire out.

That would be good. We'll soon have this fire out.

-I'll get the fire hose ready, sir.

-Good call, Firefighter Rebecca.

Don't worry, Mr Badcrust, we'll soon have this fire out.

Stand clear, please!

I'll just stand out of the way.

Ready, aim, go!

Woah!

Ahhh!

Ooh! This thing's got a life of its own!

Ahhh!

-Ohh!

-Brace yourself, Firefighter Rebecca!

-I'm bracing!

Aim at the base of the blaze.

Put that fire out!

Woah!

Is this working? Are we putting out the fire? Ooooh!

Is it over? Can I go back in now?

-Stand back! Keep well clear! It's still not safe!

-Crumbs!

Look! It's nearly out!

Oh!

There. We've done it.

You've done very well.

Thanks, Mr Badcrust. All in a day's work for a firefighter.

I think your buns are going to be a bit soggy, though.

Yes, I'll not be able to sell any wet buns.

HE GASPS

-Never mind my soggy buns. What about carrot cake?

-That'll be soggy too.

No, it's the name of my parrot, Carrot Cake.

Look, he's up there. He won't come out.

Oh, no! Poor Carrot Cake!

Yes, poor Carrot Cake!

Yes. Up there in that smoky room.

What are we going to do?

How will we get out Carrot Cake?

-The fire chief said the building still isn't safe.

-That's right.

-This is an emergency situation.

-You can count on me, sir.

Get ready, Firefighter Rebecca. You are going...

# Let's play. #

Look, I'm on the extending ladder.

Don't worry, though. I've got my harness on.

Don't worry, Carrot Cake. The nice firefighter is on her way.

Ah! He's a lovely bird. I've had him since he was a chick.

Stop!

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

Woah! That's really smoky!

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

How am I supposed to help Carrot Cake if my eyes are watering

and I keep coughing?

BELL TINKLES

Hold on, I know!

I remember. Do you?

That's it.

To help them breathe when smoke is around,

firefighters use breathing equipment.

Down again, please.

Coming back down again.

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

Don't forget to bring the parrot!

I'm getting some breathing equipment then I'm going straight back up.

Ooh, she's very brave!

# Let's play. #

MUFFLED VOICE: This should do the trick. Let's get Carrot Cake.

-Going up.

-Up you go.

That's high enough. Stop.

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

Carrot Cake, can you see me?

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

Come on, fly onto my arm away from this nasty smoke.

Carrot Cake, come on, flap over here.

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

Carrot Cake, you come here right now.

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

He won't come!

He doesn't want to leave his perch. How can I get him to come to me?

BELL TINKLES

Wait a minute. What about this?

Birdseed!

Yes!

That's it, Carrot Cake. Get your beak around some of this.

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

Hooray! Yes!

Great work!

Oh, Carrot Cake. Well done, Carrot Cake! And you, Firefighter Rebecca.

He's safe. What a relief!

What a firefighter! I'm so proud!

I think I've got a bit of smoke in my eye.

HE SNIFFS

HE BLOWS HIS NOSE

Oh, Carrot Cake!

My lovely Carrot Cake!

Once we've cleaned up this mess, I'll bake you your own baguette!

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

All right, you can have two.

We did it. We were proper firefighters.

Well done. You can serve at this fire station any time you want.

Thank you, sir. All in a day's work for a firefighter.

METAL CLANGS

We would never have done it without remembering everything

we needed to know.

Firefighters must make sure all their equipment is ready.

Every second counts when you're fighting a fire.

They use a loud siren to let people know they're coming

so they can move out of the way.

When smoke is around them, they wear breathing equipment.

I think it's time we went home.

Bye-bye, Firefighter Rebecca.

Yes, thank you, Firefighter Rebecca.

When I get the bakery running again, I'll bake you your own crusty loaf.

Thank you, Mr Badcrust.

CARROT CAKE SQUAWKS

Bye-bye to you too, Carrot Cake.

Bye, everyone.

# Let's play. #

I drove a fire engine. I used a fire hose to put out the fire.

And I saved a parrot. It was the best adventure yet!

That sounds so cool!

It was. And you should have heard the fire engine!

Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!

I wish I had. I've been peeling these onions for our onion soup.

My eyes have been watering and my nose has been running.

-I wish there was another way to do it.

-I might have the very thing.

-Try this.

-A mask! I can put this on and my eyes won't be watering.

-Thanks, Rebecca.

-You're welcome.

Playing fire-fighters was great fun. What do you like to play?

I like to play knights and ride a really fast horse.

I ride my horse like this.

It's great if I'm playing puppies. I'm very noisy.

I wag my tail like this.

I like to play clowns and pull silly faces like this.

It's fun to play. Start playing today.
