The very 1st volunteer Fire Dept
 

Hey Ron,

You just as crazy as me,

Can you name the person who first started the Volunteer Fire Dept.

I know you are full time, and believe me the people in your town have trust in you and your ( troops ) or you wouldnt be there.

Keep up the good work, and pass along the THANKS to your people.

Sure
 

It was Agustas Ceasur, The Roman guy, They were called Vigials. That is also where the term Hook and ladder came from. Every house was required to have a metal ring in the ridge of there house. If they had a house fire the firemen would put there hooks in the ring and pull down the house or houses next to the house on fire.

I was always taught that it was Benjamin Franklin.

Is it true Nero fired the fire department in Rome? :D
