Firefighters.........trained and equipped to put
out fires, rescue people and animals, aid and assist during
natural disasters and provide emergency medical services.
Firefighting is an inherently dangerous occupation. The three main goals in firefighting are
(in order) life safety, incident stabilization, and property conservation. As such, the
skills required for safe operations are regularly practiced during training evolutions
throughout a firefighter's career. In the United States, the preeminent fire training and
standards organization is the National Fire Protection Association (or NFPA). Often initial
firefighting skills are taught during a local, regional, or state approved fire
academy.
