Fire buff

Well kiddo, a "fire buff" is someone who really loves firefighters and firefighting. They might go watch fires or take photos of fire trucks and equipment. Sometimes they even collect things like old fire helmets or patches from different fire departments.

Fire buffs want to learn everything they can about firefighting and the people who do this important job. They might listen to the radio when firefighters are responding to a call or take notes on what they see when they're watching a fire.

It's important to remember that while fire buffs love firefighters, it's still very dangerous to be around a fire. Firefighters are highly trained professionals with special gear to keep them safe. So even though fire buffs admire firefighters, it's important to stay a safe distance away from a fire to avoid getting hurt.
