"Swing aboard! Hit the gas. / Ladder truck roars, heads out fast." Young readers witness four firefighters (three men, one woman) doing their thing, from suiting up to extinguishing a blaze to chilling out afterward. Some of the rhymes stumble, but most are as zippy and fleet as the book's heroes. The digitally rendered art has an eye-pleasing cut-paper look.
