Description
Firefighters protect the lives of others when danger strikes. Traditionally, this is when a fire breaks out, although firefighters can handle many other types of emergency situations, including vehicle accidents and water rescues. Firefighters are called first responders for a reason. Typically, they are the first to respond to an emergency. Because of that, firefighters must handle a broad range of emergency situations as well as the mass hysteria that blooms out of a severe accident.
