How to use firefighter in a sentence?

1. Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan:

   It was a big bang, like an explosion. It was big enough for everyone to hear and go look what happened. There was smoke and when I went over I saw people on the ground, one of the guys was run over, his leg was bent a funny way. we are fortunate that we had a firefighter on detail there.

2. Andrew Ansbro:

   One of the firefighters who was with me, who actually retired … due to burns on his legs, he was there digging for weeks with us. He actually passed away two years ago, but … he was not registered. And because he was not an active firefighter, it was very hard to get his claims in because the paperwork wasn't done.

3. Christopher Suprun:

4. Frank Siller:

   What a sacrifice by a husband, a superhero, someone who not only serveshis country, also a New YorkCity firefighter who serves his community.
