Yes, the noun 'firefighter' is a descriptive noun, a noun that give you a picture of the person or thing.
For example, in the sentence, "People put out the fire.", a perfectly correct sentence but it doesn't give a clue who those people are (passersby, neighbors, the family?). The sentence, "Firefighters put out the fire." tells you that the fire was put out by professionals and it was probably put out safely.
