activity help: Firefighting

Backstory:

Since before recorded history, fire has been both a useful tool and a terrible threat to all the known races. Fire itself is the combustible chemical reaction between two or more elements. Sometimes, these reactions can be used in a controlled manner, resulting in something useful, such as cooking food, forging metal and heating homes. Sometimes, these reactions get out of control and fire becomes a threat to both people and property. In these times, brave individuals would band together, putting themselves on the line, to fight fires. No matter which race's history you read, the common phenomenon known as the fire fighter has arisen in every culture and is often revered as a heroic figure. Today, the firefighting tradition continues as out of control fires crop up to threaten those who lack the skill and courage to battle deadly blazes.
