Fire Kids! The Adventures of Hose Company No. 2

by Karen Yoder

Juvenile Fiction / 124 pages / Hardcover & Paperback Available
 
     Ten-year old J.T. McKenzie knows exactly what he wants to be when he grows up--a firefighter, just like his father and grandfather. He's off to a good start. J.T. lives right next door to the Copper Creek volunteer fire station. And he and his friends, Stinky, T-bone and Maverick--who call themselves the Fire Eaters--all share the same dream.

     As the Fire Eaters work to finish their float in time for the Fourth of July parade, J.T. wonders if he has what it really takes to be a firefighter. Does he have the courage to face up to the town bullies? Is he brave enough to take the shortcut into the woods past Old Man Dixon's house?

     When the Fire Eaters come face-to-face with a real live emergency, J.T. learns there is more to being a firefighter than courage and bravery. And he realizes that maybe he does have what it takes.
