Fire iron

Fire iron is a special tool that is used to help manage fire. Imagine you have a campfire or a fireplace, and there are flames and logs burning. If you want to move the logs around or add more wood to the fire, you need to be careful because fire is hot and can hurt you. That's where fire iron comes in! It's like a big stick with a special end that lets you pick up logs without touching them with your bare hands.

There are usually three parts to a fire iron: the handle, the hook, and the poker. The handle is what you hold onto, like the handle of a broom or a shovel. The hook is a curved piece of metal that's a bit like the claw of a crane. You can use it to grab onto logs and move them around. The poker is a long, straight piece of metal that you can use to push logs around or move the burning bits of wood to make sure the fire stays under control.

Using a fire iron isn't hard, but you need to be careful because fire is dangerous. Make sure you have an adult help you if you're not sure what to do. If you ever see fire, remember to stay back and call for help. And if you ever get a chance to use a fire iron, remember that it's a special tool that lets you control fire safely!
