Question

Reporter: How long have you been a firefighter?

Wilson: Eight years.

Reporter: How did you get started?

Wilson: First, I had to take a lot of tests. Then, I went to firefighting school for 13 weeks. I learned how to put out fires and how to use equipment (设备).

Reporter: How do you stay safe on the job?

They help me to breathe in a smoke-filled building.

Reporter: Are there any new tools that firefighters use?

Wilson: We have a special camera that can see in the dark. It can find heat. That way, we can tell where a fire is located.

Reporter: Do you save pets?

Wilson: I recently helped save some kittens. They were hiding under the beds. Pets usually hide during a fire because they are scared.
