    This document compares and contrasts two career paths: firefighting and law enforcement. Both careers involve hazardous working conditions, physical demands, and helping the community. Firefighters focus on putting out fires, operating equipment, and providing first aid. Law enforcement officers enforce laws, protect life and property, and resolve tense situations through patrols. Both careers require skills such as strength, endurance, and the ability to work under pressure or in hazardous environments.
