We need help right away when
theres an emergency. Thats
when ambulances, fire trucks,
and police cars come to the
rescue. Their flashing lights
and loud sirens warn people
that they are in a hurry.

But what happens when theres
an emergency high in the
mountains or far out at sea?
The emergency services have it
covered. Helicopters, sleds, and
speedboats carry people back
to safety. So, put on your seat

rescue vehicles in action.

When the fire
alarm rings, these
fire engines are
ready to go. Signals
inside the station
can even make
traffic lights turn

Off they go!

Police cars and motorcycles are on the alert, too. In any kind of emergency, the police will be ready...

...and waiting
for action! Police
motorcycles travel
quickly on busy
city streets and
highways. You
can see motor
units like these all
over the world.

The word ambulance is written backwards so that people can read it in their rear view mirrors!

Cars and people
on crowded city
streets can get
in the way of
rescue work. A
line of police cars
acts like a fence
around the scene.

Rescue workers arrive with their equipment. A yellow pumper truck pumps water from a fire hydrant to hoses.

Each rescue worker has a specific job to dofrom helping an injured person, to hosing down the fire.

Police officers and
firefighters must
work together
quickly and safely
in an emergency.

Inside this ambulance is a
stretcher for transporting an
injured person to the hospital.

Helicopters can hover, or stay in
one place, in the air. They can
