Study Notes
Firefighters play a crucial role in protecting lives and property from fires and other emergencies such as car accidents and natural disasters like floods. Their primary duty is to put out fires by finding their source and extinguishing them with water, foam, gas, sand, or dry chemicals. They also work to prevent fires through inspections of buildings for possible hazards and educating people on how to avoid starting fires. Additionally, they can assist with rescues after earthquakes, respond during storms, help rescue drowning victims, and perform water rescues. In many ways, firefighters act as first responders who are regularly called upon to save lives. Despite being well-trained, firefighting involves risk due to the nature of emergency situations.
