Rescue in the Forest: Search Team Day (Junior Firefighter Alex)

By Primoz Erjavec

A forest is a big place. How do rescuers find one missing hiker?

When Sofia does not return from a supervised training hike, Station 8 begins a carefully planned search exercise. Six-year-old Alex wants to help, but Captain Mira teaches him that the safest place for a junior firefighter is at the command post.

As maps, radios, a drone and search dog Ember work together, Alex discovers how trip plans, bright clothing, whistles and staying put can help searchers find someone safely.

Rescue in the Forest combines an exciting illustrated adventure with practical, age-appropriate outdoor safety lessons. Young readers learn to stay with their group, prepare for changing weather, remain calm if separated and listen to trained rescuers.

Also included:

- Trail-Smart reading questions
- A five-step outdoor safety sequence
- A printable Trail-Smart Explorer Badge
- A practical checklist for grown-ups

A reassuring adventure for children ages 3-8 who enjoy firefighters, working dogs, rescue teams and outdoor exploration.
