Firefighting is the act of extinguishing destructive fires. A firefighter fights these fires to prevent destruction of life, property and the environment.
Firefighting is a highly technical profession which requires years of training and education in order to become proficient.
Firefighters' duties
Firefighters' goals are to save life, property and the environment. A fire can rapidly spread and endanger many lives; however, with modern
firefighting techniques, catastrophe is usually, but not always, avoided. To prevent fires from starting, a firefighter's duties include public
education and conducting fire inspections.
Because firefighters are often the first responders to people in critical conditions, firefighters provide many other valuable services to the
community they serve, such as: Emergency medical services, as emergency medical technicians or as licensed paramedics, staffing
ambulances.
Hazardous materials mitigation (HAZMAT)
Heavy rescue
Search and rescue
Community disaster support
In addition, firefighters also service in specialized fields, such as:
Aircraft/airport rescue
Wildland fire suppression
Shipboard and military fire and rescue
Tactical paramedic support ("SWAT medics")
In the US, firefighters also serve the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as Urban search and rescue (USAR) team members.
Firemen, as they are also known, go through extensive and ongoing training that includes frequent evaluations and refresher training. They
embody professionalism and commitment to the community and deserve our honor and respect.
Firefighters are courageous men who provide one of the most important safety services that we take for granted.
