A FIREFIGHTER (also known as a fireman or fire-woman) has the huge responsibility of protecting and helping the public.
Their tasks include attending to emergencies such as fires, road accidents, floods, bomb incidents, spillages of dangerous substances and rail or air crashes. They also rescue trapped people and animals, and administer first aid.
They inspect buildings to make sure they meet fire-safety regulations and perform public education tasks, including school visits, demonstrations, first aid, firefighting training and lectures.
“Firefighter” has replaced the title “fireman” in recent years as more and more women serve as firefighters alongside men.
A firefighter is someone who can work well with others, displays empathy, loves to help others and is physically and mentally strong.
