Eliza is excited about her class field trip to the firehouse... until one comment changes everything.

"Girls can't be firefighters."

At first, Eliza is unsure what to believe. But when she arrives at Engine 8 and meets Firefighter Ellen, she quickly discovers that courage, teamwork, and determination have nothing to do with being a boy or a girl.

From sliding down fire poles and learning about fire trucks to understanding firefighter gear and fire safety, Eliza's exciting adventure turns into something even bigger: a brand-new dream.

• Interactive review questions and activities
• Real-world career exploration for young readers

Written by retired DC Fire & EMS professional Ruth Redmond, this engaging and educational story encourages children to believe in themselves, ask questions, and dream boldly.

Because sometimes one field trip can change everything.
