Tommy and Tammy, the world’s only child firefighters, are back on the job! One morning, as they wash the fire engine and check the equipment, an urgent call suddenly comes through on the fire station speaker: “Respond Haz Mat Truck Five!” An overturned rail tanker car is leaking acid, threatening the surrounding waterways and environment!

This is Tommy and Tammy’s first haz mat call; they are excited but nervous. Situations with hazardous materials are dangerous! When they get to the emergency scene, they can tell it’s serious; even Chief Bolton looks worried.

The twins remember their training and work with their team to safely reroute traffic and set up a safety zone for the firefighters. But it looks like they won’t have time to stop the acid leak before it reaches a nearby waterway and endangers the fish and wildlife! Luckily, Tammy comes up with a great idea to contain the acid before it spreads, protecting the environment from a serious threat.

Tommy and Tammy, the Firefighting Children (Save the Environment)
