smoke eaters
Hose-wielding heroes
Smoke eaters are firefighters—people who rush into burning buildings where smoke is thickest.
The term is informal and admiring, evoking the hazards of the job: My grandfather was a smoke eater for thirty years.
Smoke eater also refers to a device that filters smoke from indoor air, common in bars and workshops before smoking bans.
