volunteer firefighter
Community emergency helper
A volunteer firefighter is someone who fights fires without pay, typically serving rural or small-town communities that can't support a professional department.
Volunteer firefighters receive training and respond to emergencies alongside or instead of paid personnel: Half the firefighters in America are volunteers.
The role often carries significant community status.
