Firefighters Are Friends

The purpose of the book is to teach our young citizens the importance of being safe and knowing what to do in case of an emergency. We've found that early-childhood safety lessons go a long way as our young citizens grow and get older. I wanted to give back some important safety tips through an enjoyable book for young and old.

I hope the book is a good teaching book, people will learn some safety items, and the book may inspire a young girl or boy to maybe one day become a firefighter.

Author Ron Rakosnik spent over forty years in professional firefighting-his last ten years as a fire chief. Every October, he enjoyed reading stories to preschool and kindergarten classes in his community during Fire Prevention Week. Upon his retirement, he decided to give back to the community he served and protected for many years (and others) by writing this enjoyable, educational, and inspirational book for young citizens.
