'''Firefighting''' is the act of extinguishing a [[fire]].

'''Firefighting''' is the attempt to minimise injury or loss of life, or damage to property, caused by a [[fire]], either by extinguishing the fire or ensuring its containment.

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 (Emergency Medical Technicians) or [[paramedics]].
