I'm not a firefighter, but an old chemistry saying..... "To find out how two chemicals react, mix them in a beaker and apply heat"
I would assume it would be helpful, because if there was a fire and the firefighter realized the fire was moving towards the room with all the propane tanks in it, it's gonna save his life to know that's going to cause a big explosion and also he should get out of there..... Obviously most people know propane will explode from heat, but I'm not a chem major so that was my best example.
Another reason is when certain chemicals, especially poisons are burnt, or certain materials (i.e. Old insulation sometimes has anthrax which is a natural occurring poison/substance).... this can aerosolize the poison and it could enter the blood stream through the lungs (i.e. smoking cigarettes as opposed to chewing tobacco)

How do you get a PhD in chemistry?
An important thing to understand here is that you wouldn't get a PhD in chemistry as a whole subject but you would get a PhD in a certain field of chemistry, like physical chemistry. Allow me to explain: I'm from the UK so the first thing you would do is get a degree in Chemistry or a related subject like Medicinal Chemistry or Biochemistry, whatever you like best. This would be called a BSc; Bachelor of Science meaning you have a degree in a science based subject. So you would have a BSc in Chemistry. Then you could go on to get a Masters, or an MSc for Master of Science. These degrees are normally more specific than BSc's so you would study a particular part of Chemistry and not Chemistry as a whole, for example, Analytical Chemistry. However, you can study an MSc in Chemistry as a whole which has a research basis. Then you would do a PhD. These are primarily research degrees which would involve a specific part of Chemistry and not as a whole subject. So you would have a really specific title.
What degree would one need for an analytical chemistry job?
The minimum degree one would need for an analytical chemistry job would be a Bachelor's degree in chemistry. A master's degree or Ph.D. would greatly increase the chances in the analytical chemistry field.

1. The fire extinguishing devices are based on chemicals and chemical processes.2.
