Why do fire trucks have sirens? Like when police are on thier way to catch a bad guy or an Ambulance on its way to help someone who is really sick, we have sirens to warn other people that we are on the way to a fire or other emergency. When we use them they sometimes may seem loud and scary but they help us get through traffic and warn drivers and pedestrians that we need to get to someone who really needs help! You may hear different sirens from different trucks but what do they mean? Click on the links below to hear them. You can even down load them to your computer or phone by right clicking and selecting "save target as"

When we respond to a fire you will hear the "wail" sound

When we approach an intersection you will hear the "yelp" sound

Urban Fire Trucks sometimes have other sounds as well such as "phaser" and a really loud "horn"

Make sure you read this section carefully so you can tell mum and dad all about fire safety. Once you've finished, you can answer the questions to become a Junior Firefighter.

Fire is a normal part of our lives, but there is a difference between good and bad fires.

• Good fires are fires such as candles on birthday cakes, BBQ's and camp fires.
• Bad fires are fires such as house fires, bush fires and children playing with fire.
• Sometimes good fires can turn bad if there's not an adult around. Make sure you never play with fire and if you find matches or lighters always give them to an adult.

the number to call in an emergency is 0-0-0 - ask an adult to show you how to dial 000 on your home phone - but remember not to call unless it's a real emergency.

• In a real emergency, such as a fire, this is what will happen if you call 000:
  • The telephone operator will ask you if you want police, fire or ambulance
  • If you say fire, you will be connected to the fire service - so wait on the phone and a different operator will ask you what the emergency is - such as a house fire
  • You will then be asked for the address of the fire - including the house number, street name, suburb and town
  • Tell the operator if you think anyone is hurt or trapped
  • Wait for the operator to hang up before you do
  • Get out of the house and wait for the firefighters to arrive

If your clothes catch on fire, don't try to run away - this will only make the fire burn hotter and faster. Instead:

• STOP immediately where you are
• DROP quickly to ground and cover your face with your hands
• ROLL over and over to put out the flames

Now you should be able to answer the questions and become a QFRS Junior Firefighter!
