Yes, but then janitors can always be demoted.

As long as firemen aren't sysops or above, I'm pretty sure there's no way for them to abuse power. Then again, they can be demoted.

Still, you are not allowed to be promoted, NotAnEditor, and that covers EVERYTHING. Not even a rank that holds no actual power.
