firefighting crews
Emergency flame teams
Firefighting crews are organized teams of firefighters who work together to combat fires and respond to emergencies.
The term emphasizes the collective unit rather than individual firefighters: Firefighting crews battled the blaze through the night.
In wildfire contexts, crews often have specific names and specializations, like hotshot crews who handle the most dangerous assignments.
