I understand exactly what you are saying, but there is still no comparison that can be made.
The Fire Services are just as important and do an equally important job as the Police Officers - There shouldn't be a thought in your mind that says 'police are more important'.
You say that Police are more likely to be in danger, well I would dispute that. Yes, Police are more of a target because there are more of them and they are commonly seen, whereas firefighters only respond to calls, but firefighters are in just as much danger from fires, hazards, being run over, being crushed, oxygen deprivation, and being attacked to name a few things.
Here is a video that was recorded in Manchester, UK. which shows firefighters being lured to a call and then attacked

[edit] OT: I do not think any emergency service is more important, more in danger, or better than any other emergency service.
