A quick definition of fireman's rule:

The Fireman's Rule is a legal principle that says firefighters, police officers, and other emergency workers cannot sue property owners for accidental injuries they suffer while responding to an emergency caused by the property owner. This means that if a firefighter gets hurt while putting out a fire caused by a property owner's negligence, they cannot hold the property owner responsible for their injuries.

A more thorough explanation:

The Fireman's Rule, also known as the Firefighter's Rule, is a legal doctrine that states that a firefighter, police officer, or other emergency professional cannot hold a person responsible for any unintentional injuries they may suffer while responding to a situation caused by that person.

For example, if a firefighter is injured while putting out a fire caused by a property owner's negligence, the property owner cannot be held liable for the firefighter's injuries under the Fireman's Rule.

This rule is in place to protect emergency professionals from being sued for injuries that are an inherent risk of their job. It also encourages emergency professionals to respond quickly to dangerous situations without fear of legal repercussions.
