Flannel Friday: One Brave Firefighter (Every Hero Has a Story)

Coming up on two years ago, I wrote an original rhyming flannel board story about firefighters for a community helpers story time. In my post about the session, I promised to share the flannel board on an upcoming Flannel Friday and then got busy and forgot all about it. When I started thinking about what I could contribute to the summer reading round-up,  I realized that story would be the perfect fit. It's called One Brave Firefighter, and it goes like this. (If you repost the story, please credit me - thanks!)

One brave firefighter putting out the fire.

Swoosh goes the water... 

...but the flames climb higher.

The firefighter calls for a friend with a shout.

“Help me put this fire out!”

Two brave firefighters putting out the fire.

Swoosh, swoosh goes the water...

...but the flames climb even higher!

The firefighters call for a friend with a shout.

“Help us put this fire out!”

Three brave firefighters putting out the fire.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh goes the water...

...but the flames climb even higher!

The firefighters call for a friend with a shout.

“Help us put this fire out!”

Four brave firefighters putting out the fire.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh goes the water...

and the flames stop climbing higher.

The firefighters clap their hands and shout,

“Hooray, we put the fire out!”
