firewoman
Female blaze battler
A firewoman is a female firefighter—someone who responds to fires and other emergencies as part of a fire department.
The term parallels fireman but specifies gender.
While firefighter has become the standard gender-neutral term in professional contexts, firewoman still appears: The firewoman carried the child to safety.
