you need to start off the story w/ great detail, the sentance you have now seems more imformative then eye catching. my dad is a firefighter, so i've written essays like that before. make it unique, like.. "Surrounded by flames, the scent of dirt, smoke, and sweat filling the room, the firfighter knows he must complete his task, for the bit of life in the other room trapped by flames matters most..." something like that. or, "Weighted down by the heavy gear and the small child, the firfighter races towards the opening in the burning department, passing the orange flames in a hot blur..." this is putting me in a writing mood! i love writing, and i'm in 8th grade! i hope your essay is a page turner!

In the distance you hear the sound of sirens bellowing. Automatically you think of what could be wrong. "What happened?" Or "Whose house is on fire?" People risk there lives every day to save other peoples lives. Those certain people are firefighters. Courageous, brave, strong mentally and physically, and trustworthy. That's what makes up a firefighter.
You could add whatever you like to the 'what makes up a firefighter' part. I was just giving an idea of what you could do.
Put yourself in the firefighters boots. Are they scared as well as the victim in the fire? Are they wondering if they'd ever get out alive?

Why not spend the day at the fire station? See if you can get permission, or even interview a firefighter. Ask him questions about his job. It's hard to actually write about something that you may know very little about.

Here, try this: It's so hot here, I can't breath, the scorching flames burn my skin with every touch. I need backup to put this beast out. I'm glad I have friends to depend on. So this is what it feels like to be a firefighter."
I hope it's to your liking.
