Calling all fire photographers: FireRescue1 wants to see your pictures! The next time you come across something inspiring, take out the camera and submit it to FireRescue1! Just remember to include your name, agency information and brief background information on the picture.

This week’s Photo of the Week comes from the Perth Amboy (N.J.) Fire Department, which shows some of its members reading storybooks to kids virtually for Read Across America Day on Tuesday.

Among the featured readers was Firefighter RL Anderson, a retired principal of Wilentz School, who sat down to read the bilingual book “Fire! ¡Fuego! Brave Bomberos” to his former students.
