Russian Firefighters Save Pigs – level 3

01-02-2017 07:00

Firefighters rescued squealing piglets from a fire at a farm in Tomsk, Russia. There were about 200 pigs there when the blaze broke out.

One firefighter reported that the whole roof of the farm was on fire when the firefighters arrived. He also said that the fire itself was 700 metres big, so it took seven fire engines and 26 firefighters to extinguish it. They were luckily there to save the pigs, as well.

Difficult words: squeal (make a high-pitched cry or noise), blaze (a big fire), extinguish (put out, stop).
