Illustrated by
Rich Davis.
A simple, breathless text has a group of firefighters responding to a bell, donning their gear, racing to put out a fire, and saving a little boy's dog from the blaze. The book would be mundane but for its painterly illustrations, which show the men to be human beings as well as heroes (e.g., one tickles a sleeping colleague).
