This worksheet titled
"Firefighter Tools" is designed for young children to identify tools and equipment that a firefighter uses. The instruction says: *"What does a firefighter need to work with? Color the correct circle."* Each item has two circles below it — one with an
"X" and one with a
"✓" (checkmark). The child should
color the "✓" if the item is something a firefighter uses, or the
"X" if it's not.
Let’s go through each image in the grid and determine which items are actually used by firefighters:
---

✔ Yes, this is a tool firefighters use to spray water.
