Doxxing of firefighters
Firefighters get doxxed too — usually after a high-visibility incident or in retaliation for a station-level dispute.

Firefighters and EMS get doxxed less often than cops, but it happens. The trigger is usually a high-visibility incident — a fatal call where a family blames the response, a controversial union action, or a station-level dispute that goes public. Once the firefighter's name is in coverage, the home address shows up on a broker page within hours.
The pattern is the same as for police. The name comes from somewhere public. The address comes from Spokeo, Whitepages, or TruePeopleSearch. The spouse and kids come from the same broker page.
Why first responders catch this more
Firefighters often live in the same suburban clusters as cops and EMS in their area. That makes the cluster searchable too — a doxxer who has one firefighter's address can search neighbors and find the next one.
EMS and paramedics carry an additional risk: you go to people in their worst moments. Some of those people remember. A patient who blames you for a death, a family member who feels you weren't fast enough, a person you encountered in a mental-health crisis — any of them can run your name later.
What we sweep that prevents the chain
We file opt-outs across 200+ broker sites and re-check every two weeks. CA (§6254.21), TX (§552.117), and FL (§119.071(4)(d)) all let public-safety personnel keep their address out of agency records — and the same statutes usually cover firefighters and EMS, not just cops. File those elections with each agency holding your records.
For everything the state shields don't reach, we work the brokers continuously. Same drill as for cops.
