Russian Firefighters Save Pigs – level 2

01-02-2017 07:00

In Tomsk, Russia, a fire started at a pig farm that had about 200 pigs. Firefighters arrived to put out the fire and rescue the pigs, which included squealing piglets.

One firefighter said that the whole roof of the farm was on fire and that the fire itself was 700 metres big. The fire was so big that it took seven engines and 26 firefighters to extinguish it.

Difficult words: squeal (make high-pitched sounds), piglet (a baby pig), extinguish (put out, stop).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
