- A fire-fighter is trained and equipped to extinguish fires. Increasingly a fire-fighter is also a rescuer, trained and equipped to rescue people from car accidents, collapsed buildings and many more situations.
- The increasing complexity of modern industrialized life with an increase in the scale and complexity of hazards faced has stimulated both advances in fire fighting technology and a broadening of the fire-fighter-rescuer's remit.
- In Australia volunteer Brigades which are unpaid mostly rural services (although traditionally they are paid by their employers if called out during working hours) are separate from career Brigades and if arriving at a fire scene first can assume command over the local career Brigade as their training is similar to professional firemen. These volunteers also man career fire stations during emergencies.
