Okay kiddo, a pike pole is a special tool that firefighters and other people like that use. It's like a stick with a hook on the end. You know how sometimes you drop something and you can't reach it? You can use the pike pole to grab things that are too high or too far away. But the pike pole is special because it's really strong and can be used to push or pull things too. So, if there's a fire and the firefighters need to move something out of the way, they can use the pike pole to do it without getting too close to the fire. Does that make sense?
