firefighter's
Belonging to rescuers
Firefighter's is the possessive form of firefighter—a person trained to extinguish fires and perform rescues.
The apostrophe indicates belonging: a firefighter's helmet, the firefighter's courage, a firefighter's daily routine.
It can also form contractions: The firefighter's been on duty for twelve hours.
