| Summary | "Firebrands" by Frank Eugene Martin and George Moses Davis is a children's educational book written in the early 20th century. The book aims to teach essential fire safety lessons to children through engaging stories about fire prevention, the dangers of carelessness, and the importance of cautious behavior around fire. Each tale illustrates various scenarios where fire hazards arise, featuring characters that embody both the consequences of negligence and the value of learning from mistakes. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the concept of fire safety through the whimsical interactions between a parrot named Polly and a mischievous rat named Mr. Brown Rat. As Polly enjoys a sunny day outside, the plot quickly escalates when Brownie, seeking to build a nest with matches left around carelessly, inadvertently sets a fire that brings local boys rushing to help. This engaging story sets the tone for the book's overall message: the importance of being vigilant and responsible to prevent fires, demonstrating through relatable animal characters the potential consequences of negligence while promoting awareness of fire safety measures.
