Which of the following is NOT a firefighter responsibility?

• A. Write software code
• B. Respond to fires and emergencies
• C. Rescue people from danger
• D. Provide first aid

Answer: (A)

Firefighter work centers on emergency response, rescue, and medical aid. On scene, they suppress fires, perform search-and-rescue, and provide first aid or basic life support until EMS arrives. Writing software code has nothing to do with those on-scene duties and is instead a job for software developers or IT specialists. Since the other tasks align with hands-on emergency response and patient care, the activity that doesn't fit as a firefighter responsibility is writing software code.
