Firefighting

Firefighting involves the strategic use of trained personnel, specialized equipment, and techniques to suppress and control fires, preventing loss of life, injury, and property damage. Firefighters assess fire behavior, establish safe zones, and use hoses, extinguishers, and other tools to extinguish flames. They also perform rescues, vent buildings, and provide emergency medical assistance. Modern firefighting incorporates fire science to understand how fires develop and spread, enabling effective intervention. It is a disciplined, collaborative effort focused on safely containing fires and minimizing their consequences through quick response and expert knowledge.
