Speech

For the last two weeks we have been working on writing speeches.
My topic was Fire trucks.
We had to present them in front of our class.
I think I was good and I made it to the finals.

Have you ever wondered why fire trucks are so important in our communities? A fire truck is a vehicle that holds firefighters, lots of water and has hoses, ladders and equipment for cutting cars. I believe that fire trucks are important and here is why.

Firstly Fire trucks attend car accidents, scrub fires and house fires. At car crashes fire trucks have to use lots of equipment. In the lockers there is jaws of life, hoses, portable pumps, axes, shovels and brooms. This equipment helps the firefighters cut people out of their cars if they are trapped and clean up all the mess on the road.

Secondly fire trucks save people’s lives. They use hoses, axes and portable pumps to help people. They attend medical calls and help the ambulance. The truck holds special equipment to help people who are very sick.

Finally fire trucks take firefighters to attend calls when the fire siren goes. Fire trucks rush to fire calls with their siren on and lights flashing to help the people in our community.

I think fire trucks are important for the people in our community. They help save people’s lives and property. One day I would like to be a fireman and drive the fire truck to save my community.
