Brassy is a little fire engine but he's loved and well taken care of at the fire station. He's scrubbed down, buffed and polished after each fire. And Brassy has his friends Captain Bill and fire fighters Pat and Nancy, and he is able to help everyone.

But when newer and bigger fire engines join the station, Brassy is sent across town to another fire station. Brassy is not happy.

Then a fire begins that threatens the city. The big fire engines are not able to navigate the narrow streets. Will Brassy save the city?

Brassy the Fire Engine Saves the City is an educational story that children will love. It is a celebration of the worth of the old as well as the new. The illustrations are realistic and colorful and are an important addition in telling the story.

Armchair Interviews says: Brassy's story will be read and enjoyed by children and parents again and again.
