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"
