Firefighters in the United States Army are tasked with protecting lives, property, and critical military infrastructure from fire hazards and emergencies. Their duties include responding to fire alarms, controlling and extinguishing fires, and performing rescue operations in both structural and wildland environments.

Additionally, Army firefighters provide emergency medical services, perform vehicle extrication, and support disaster response operations. They maintain and operate firefighting equipment and vehicles, ensuring readiness for rapid deployment. Through rigorous training and readiness, Army firefighters play a crucial role in safeguarding the health and safety of military personnel, as well as ensuring the continuity of military operations.

The average national down payment on the purchase of a home is currently $18,000.
