Fire rake

A fire rake is a special tool used by firefighters to help stop fires from spreading. It looks like a big rake with long teeth and is usually made of metal. When a fire is burning, firefighters use the fire rake to scrape away at the ground and nearby vegetation to create a path that the fire can't cross. This is called a fire break.

Imagine you're playing with some toy cars and you accidentally knock them over a pile of blocks. You want to get them back but the blocks are in the way. So, you use a special tool, like a big toy rake, to push the blocks aside and clear a path for your cars to safely drive through.

This is kind of like what a fire rake does, but in a much more important way. When there's a wildfire burning, firefighters use the fire rake to clear a path that stops the fire from spreading to other areas. It's an important tool that firefighters use to keep people and buildings safe.
