 The Firefighter's first appearance was in [[SLASH'EM]] precursor [[NetHack-- 3.0.10]], as one of nine new roles in addition to the twelve in [[NetHack 3.0.10|the contemporary version of NetHack]].  The discussion thread in which the authors first announced the variant suggests that some of the new roles were taken from a list proposing a role for every letter of the alphabet. See [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.hack/jg8YtQX1M3Y/tbBlteXdYY8J here] for the relevant post.
-After the release of [[NetHack 3.1.3]] in 1993, NetHack-- was updated to [[NetHack-- 3.1.3]] by porting some of the changes from NetHack-- 3.0.10 into a patch for the newest version.  Due to some changes in the vanilla code, however, some content was removed to improve compatibility with NetHack.  Most significantly, NetHack 3.1 had seen the addition of the [[Quest]] branch.  To avoid the challenge of fitting full-length quests for the roles that had been added in NetHack-- 3.0.10 into the patch code, those roles were simply left out of the patch.

 There is some evidence that the developer(s) of [[SLASH]] may have wanted to bring back some of the roles, including the Firefighter, as the DAT folder for [[SLASH 6]] contains unused maps for quest levels for this and other roles that are not actually present in the version. The quest leader would have been "Chief", the nemesis a unique [[elemental]] named Fire, and the quest artifact a fire helmet called the Fire Chief Helmet. The code for the maps indicates that the quest would feature numerous [[salamander]]s and [[efreeti]].
