What is a similarity of a firefighter and a police officer?

Answer 1

Fireman and police really have nothing in common. Except for the fact that they respond to emergency. Fireman cannot and do not have the authority to arrest someone like police officers do. Both firemen and police officers are considered a paramilitary force, and that is a key characteristic they share. Additionally, they both act with some kind of civil authority in situations where they have that authorization. As a single example, fire fighters and police officers converging on a traffic accident had different responsibilities at the same emergency scene, but both forces are "in charge" of their portions of scene management and activity.

Answer 2

They both wanted to be police officers when they were little kids.

Answer 3

That's a really good question. Too bad I'm not qualified to answer this. However, I do know that for centuries in almost every country, they've both been grouped together in some way.
