Firemen

Firefighters are non-playable characters that appear in every Grand Theft Auto game.

Like in real life, their duty is to protect the public during emergency situations and respond to fire calls. The behavior of firefighters varies by each game, as does their effectiveness. Up until Grand Theft Auto IV, firefighters would only appear if there was an actual fire. In the HD Universe games, firefighters can be seen at fire stations.

Overview
They come in Firetrucks when 5-10 flames are around. They can be seen in certain missions, such as Rigged to Blow. Up until GTA IV firemen do very little to put out any fires. In GTA V however, they do react to fires and can be called through the emergency services option via the player's cellphone. In GTAs IV and V, they will attack players with a wanted level, and Police Officers will never arrest or attack them. In GTA Online, they can become hostile to players for no reason, this also happens with police officers.

In GTA San Andreas, they will also fight back if hit by the player. However, if the player shoots them, they will simply run away.
