Firefighters or firemen are those whose job it is to extinguish fires in a given area.  Firefighters can either be paid (professional), or [[volunteer]].  In many rural areas and smaller communities, fire departments are volunteer, while in many large cities they are professional.  In most places, firefighters also perform other [[emergency]] service work, including [[search and rescue]], and emergency [[medical]] services.  Many firefighters are also certified as [[EMT]]s or [[paramedics]].

* "Two in, two out" refers to the rule that firefighters never enter a building or other IDLH situation alone but go in as a pair.  Two go in and two come out; also, the two in can refer to the two who enter the building while a backup team of two remains outside the building ready to enter if needed.
