We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description (purpose), responsibilities (list of duties), minimum qualifications, knowledge/skill/abilities, specific license/certification required, etc. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections.
We need to use
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description (purpose), responsibilities (list of duties), minimum qualifications, knowledge/skill/abilities, specific license/certification required, etc. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. So we need to strip out the equal opportunity employer lines, drug-free workplace, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information: purpose, responsibilities (list of duties), minimum qualifications, knowledge/skill/abilities, specific license/certification required, additional certifications may be required, etc.
We need to decide sections: "About the role" could contain purpose description. "Responsibilities" list duties. "Requirements" maybe minimum qualifications? Or "Qualifications". The spec says we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to choose appropriate ones.
We have purpose (About the role). Responsibilities (list). Minimum Qualifications (maybe Requirements or Qualifications). Knowledge, Skill, Abilities (Skills). Specific License or Certification Required (maybe Qualifications or Requirements). Could combine.
We should not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could do: About the role (purpose), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (minimum qualifications + knowledge/skills/abilities + certifications). That's three sections.
But we need to follow instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. So we can have:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications: ...
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities: ...
Specific License or Certification Required: ...
Additional certifications may be required according to area assignment.
We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the purpose sentence: "The purpose of this classification is to perform firefighting and life rescue duties."
Responsibilities: we need to include all duties listed. The posting includes many sentences describing duties. We need to convert them into list items. Should we break each sentence into separate - ? Probably yes. Must preserve all detail.
We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like "Other duties may be required and assigned." That is substantive? It's a generic statement but it's part of responsibilities. We can include it as a list item.
We need to omit duplicated lines. There's some duplication? Not obvious.
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO lines, drug-free workplace, etc.
Let's extract the substantive parts:
Description: "The purpose of this classification is to perform firefighting and life rescue duties. Responsibilities include administering appropriate emergency medical treatment to victims of accidents and other life-threatening situations; maintaining firefighting vehicles and equipment, assigned fire station, and emergency medical vehicles and equipment; and participating in training and certification programs."
Then "Examples of Duties The following duties are normal for this position. The omission of specific statements of the duties does not exclude them from the classification if the work is similar, related, or a logical assignment for this classification. Other duties may be required and assigned."
Then a long paragraph with many duties separated by semicolons and periods. We need to parse into list items.
Let's copy the duties paragraph:

We need to turn each sentence (or clause) into list items. Could break by sentences. But we need to preserve all detail; we can keep the long sentences as list items.
Simplify: each bullet could be a sentence. Let's produce list items for each major duty block.
We'll produce
