Do you think they are doing a good job?
You are in your house and then suddenley a burst of flame went off and you call the fire brigade and you go to the other room to help your child to safety. You crouch down to not inhale the smoke in the only place in the house. You scream out lound and then you can hear a faint sound of Beeping! Your hopes don't disappear as you hear the sizzling of fire destroying the timber. You are safe and there you see volunteers wearing a red cross! They also help people to have safe water without doing hard work and call people daily in rural areas who are at risk of an accident or illness that may go unnoticed.
