Question

Larry’s house has caught fire, and he is trapped inside. The neighbors called 911. Two firefighters and one of the neighbors (an accountant) entered the house in an attempt to save Larry. Another neighbor tore away the screening around Larry’s porch so that his dog could run to safety.As opposed to the neighbor, the firefighters who attempted to save Larry were performing a(n) _________.

Answer 1

Duty

Step-by-step explanation:

The neighbor who tore away the screening around the porch was only trying to help Larry get his dog to safety because he is not a trained firefighter. However, the firefighters who were attempting to save Larry were actually performing a duty. It is the duty of a firefighter to save lives and properties via firefighting regardless of whether they are called or they just pump into an incidence of fire.
