In the novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, firemen are tasked with burning books, not houses. The firemen go to houses where books are reported to be stored or hidden, and they burn the books they find to uphold the society's laws against possessing literature.
The firemen are called to Montag's house because there are books there.
WoooooHoooo This house is on fire
At the end of Section 2, the firemen go to an alarm at 11 North Elm and find an elderly woman who refused to leave her house. They break down the door and find stacks of books, which they are then ordered to burn by Captain Beatty.
Firemen go to academies to get trained in fire fighting. Also, some go to college for a degree in fire science.
In Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451," the firemen bet on which houses will have illegal books hidden inside. If they suspect a house has books, they will alert the authorities and then burn the house down.
In "Fahrenheit 451", the firemen respond to fake alarms so that they can burn books. The location of the alarms is not specified in the book as they are part of the government's suppression of knowledge and free thinking.
The firemen think it was a fire that started in the flue.

Montag hid them because it is illegal to have books and if you are found with ooks or reported by someone else to the firemen that you have books, the firemen will come and burn the books and usually the house too. The person that owns the books would then be put in jail. Montag did not want any of this to happen to him, but he kept the books because he was curious about them.
Someone told Captain Beatty if they had a suspicion about someone having books or if they witnessed it with their own eyes.Citizens sent in alarms stating addresses of places suspected of harboring literature.because someone (like a neighbor) would alert them. then they (firemen) would check it out and see if there were really any books, then burn them if there were.Citizens sent in alarms stating addresses of places suspected of harboring literature. The alarm is basically faxed to the fire station and the firemen follow the alarm then do what they are hired to do.The firemen would send a mechanical hound all around town, and if the mechanical hound detected any books, then the hound would just stray around that single house, and that probably reveals to the firemen that the house is in possession of books.
In 'Fahrenheit 451', people who were found with books were reported to the firemen by their fellow citizens, as possessing books was illegal and punishable by burning your house down. The firemen in the story were responsible for burning books instead of putting out fires.
