Firefighter

A firefighter responds to fires and emergencies to protect life and property — suppressing structural and wildland fires, rescuing people, ventilating and overhauling scenes, and preventing fire from spreading. The work is physically demanding, hazardous, and built on teamwork, fast judgement, and calm under pressure.

Firefighters work for municipal, wildland, or industrial fire services, often in shifts. The role suits brave, fit, team-driven people who want physically demanding work with real stakes and a strong sense of mission.
