After you read the passage, stop and think about who is involved in firefighter training, what the training involves, where it might take place, when it typically occurs, and why certain aspects of the training are important.

For example, you might ask yourself something like: What equipment do firefighters train to use?

Research shows that asking and answering questions while reading can improve reading comprehension, especially when focusing on specific details like durations, components, and reasons behind the training.
