A firefighter is a first responder trained in firefighting, primarily to control and extinguish fires that threaten life and property, as well as to rescue persons from confinement or dangerous situations. The daily work of a firefighter goes beyond responding to burning facilities. From disaster preparedness to medical response to serving as educators, firefighters do a lot of behind-the-scenes work to keep our communities safe. This means it’s essential that firefighters are also trained as emergency medical responders (EMRs) or emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Firefighters are trained to save lives while working in teams.
