Firefighters
|
|
Fire is to
blame for countless lives and billions of dollars each and every
year. Firefighters help protect people and their property from
injury and damage. Firefighters put their life on the line every
time they respond to a call.
While on duty,
firefighters must be ready to respond in a matter of minutes to
just about any disaster that may occur. At every fire scene, a
superior fire officer takes command and dictates the jobs of all
the personnel at the scene. Some personnel man hose lines to hydrants.
Others manually operate the pumps to send water to the hoses.
Teams of firefighters also operate ladders used to reach distances
high in the air.
