Dear children, I have a serious problem that requires your help. There has been an outbreak of chickenpox at the fire station in Safetown and all of the firefighters have come out in spots. They are very contagious, so we have had to close the fire station. If there are any emergencies, there will be no firefighters available to help. Detective Della and I know very little about being a firefighter and wondered if you knew anything about it. Can you help us? From, A very worried PC Pete
