Firefighters
Firefighters are trained to extinguish and control fires in response to situations where property, life, or the environment is in danger.
At the scene of an emergency, firefighters perform tasks assigned by their commanding officer. Depending on the situation, they may need to provide medical attention, break through debris, operate fire hoses, or enter a burning building.
You might not realize it, but firefighters respond to more medical emergencies than fire emergencies. They are often first responders to car accidents and other emergencies that don't involve fire.
Because they are able to respond to so many different types of situations, firefighters have to go through many types of training, and becoming a truly good firefighter takes many years of dedication and practice.
