One hand on his hip and the other wrapped firmly around the nozzle, this young firefighter already looks as confident as a real professional! His hose is unrolled and he seems to be waiting for the signal from his team. But before turning on the water, there’s no rushing in. Firefighters need to observe what is happening, work together and follow safety instructions so they can respond effectively while protecting themselves and others.

His equipment is designed to help keep him safe during a mission. A sturdy helmet protects his head, while his jacket and pants make up his special firefighting uniform. In the colored model, bright red takes center stage, with highly visible yellow bands across the jacket, sleeves and lower legs. The helmet combines yellow and red, the boots are dark gray, and the hose adds another splash of yellow. With its clear outlines and large spaces, this Firefighter Coloring Page is also perfect for creating a completely different uniform for your own imaginary fire crew.

Of course, a firefighter can’t carry all that rescue equipment on foot! Back at the station, his fire truck ready for action carries the ladder and other equipment needed for different emergencies. As soon as the alarm sounds, the whole team can spring into action. Helmet on, hose in hand and colors finished—it’s time to give the signal to go!
