The Fire Station

This story starts out with a familiar premise: Michael and Sheila visit a fire station. But then the Munsch flair for imaginative insight and humor take over. While the two kids are exploring a fire truck, an alarm goes off--and away go Michael and Sheila to the rescue!

Follow the fictional adventures inspired by two children who were actually in the audience at one of the author's own storytelling events! Cautious Michael and strong-willed Sheila invite themselves for a tour of the local fire station and look inside a fire engine only to find themselves trapped inside when it is called out to an emergency! At the scene of the fire they become so smokey and dirty that when they arrive home they are unrecognisable and have to spend days in the bath to get clean again. Of course, that doesn't stop Sheila wanting to visit the police station the very next day...
