A firefighter is responsible (under the general supervision of their Captain and Battalion Chief) for general firefighting work in extinguishing and preventing fires, administering emergency medical services and in the maintenance of firefighting rigs and fire department quarters. Responsibilities include the performance of hazardous firefighting and rescue tasks under emergency conditions, which may require strenuous exertion under extreme conditions such as smoke and entanglement hazards.

Firefighters may be assigned the responsibility of removing persons from danger and administering emergency treatment to ill and injured persons. A large part of the employee's time is spent training on the multiple disciplines of emergency response. Additionally, firefighters perform routine duties at a fire station in cleaning, maintaining, and repairing property and equipment, and fire prevention activities. Work is normally performed under close supervision or within an established routine.

Assignments are given by a superior officer both in rescue and in fighting fires and in maintenance of building, grounds and fire equipment.
