Directions:Date:Read the poem. Then map the story events in order.The firemen rested on their cots
Some playing cards, some napping.
When suddenly the siren blew!
Something big was happening.
Within a minute every man
Had jumped up with a jolt.
They hastily put on their gear
And to the truck did bolt.
The engine sped forth to the scene
Men hanging on the sides.
Blaring out their warning sound
For all to let them by.
The truck arrived in lightning time.
The smoke was pouring out.
And from the third floor window
Mac heard a young boy shout.
The ladder went up quickly
As he climbed he felt the heat.
Mac reached the boy and heard the cheers
From crowds down in the street.
In just a few more minutes
The building was secure.
Of these brave men and women
Who could ask for more?
