    Firefightingis the act of extinguishing fires. A firefighter

    fights fires to prevent loss of life, and/or destruction of property and the environment.

    Firefighting is a highly technical skill that requires professionals who have spent years training in both general firefighting techniques and

    specialized areas of expertise.

    Firefighters duties!edit"

    Firefighters goals are to save lives, property and the environment. A fire can rapidly spread and endanger many lives# however, with modernfirefighting techniques, catastrophe is usually, but not always, avoided. $o prevent fires from starting, a f irefighters duties can include public

    education about fire safety

    and conducting fire inspections of locations for their adherence to local fire codes.

    %ecause firefighters are often the first responders

    to people in critical conditions, firefighters may provide many other valuable services to the

    community they serve, such as&

    'mergency medical services

    ,as techniciansor as licensedparamedics
