Reporter: How long have you been a firefighter?
Wilson:  For eight years.
Reporter: How did you get started?
Wilson:  First, I had to take a lot of tests in two weeks. Then, I went to the firefighter school for four months. 1 learned how to put out fires and how to use equipment. I also had a full-time training every day!
Reporter: How do you stay safe on the job?
Wilson:  I wear special clothing. It helps keep me protected from fire. I also carry an oxygen tank (氧气瓶) and a
mask (面具). They help me to breathe in a smoke-filled building.
Reporter: Are there any new tools that firefighters use?
Wilson:  We have a special camera that can see in the dark. It can find heat. That way, we can exactly tell the place of a fire.
Reporter: Do you save pets?
Wilson:  Just three days ago, I helped save some cats. They were hiding under the beds. Pets usually hide during
a fire because they are afraid of danger.
Reporter: Do you ever get afraid?
Wilson:  No. There is no time to be afraid. I just think about what to do to put out the fire safely.
Reporter: What do you like best about being a firefighter?
Wilson:  Helping people!
