Fire
According to Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, a fire fighter is described as "a person who fights fires." However, a fire fighter does much more than fights fires. Today's fire fighter is a multifaceted individual trained in Emergency Medical Technician procedures, technical rescue disciplines such as structural collapse rescue, tunnel rescue, confined space rescue, trench collapse rescue, rescue scuba diving as well as firefighting.
