Firefighter & First Responder — Pretender

Prevent danger, plan safety and help in emergencies. Firefighters and first responders spend most of their time preventing emergencies: inspecting buildings, running drills, teaching safety and checking equipment.

🚨 This is a training game, not real emergency instructions. In a real emergency, get to safety, follow adults and call 112. Never go back into danger.
