Riddle

Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house. The police bust in on a carpenter, a lorry driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got their man?

      Hint (per the website): All the police know is that his name is John and he is in the house.

      I got stumped too and when I found out the answer I thought it was kind of silly and yet I didn't get it.

    The fireman was the only man...the carpenter, lorry driver, and mechanic were all women (yeah I know).
