Firefighter – A firefighter is a symbol of aid in time of dire need. This character-symbol is connected to a symbol of destruction, especially destruction of things you hold dear. The firefighter may represent the preservation of one’s identity in the face of devastating struggles. This symbol may be a savior figure, but is not necessarily. Fire is a symbol of renewal as well as destruction, and the firefighter may simply be a symbol of a desperate attempt to resist change at all costs.
