Suggested Characteristics

Most Firefighters are mostly good individuals, motivated by a desire to protect those closest to them or the homes they grew up in, however this is not always the case with others chasing glory or working to fund insurance scams also being common motivations. While most are lawful, some can be frustrated at the confines of the law forcing them to act outside of it to ensure the best results.
