  Jul 25, 202537 minS1

  <p>The making and putting out of fires has always been with us. The Romans created what might’ve been the first municipal-type fire department. Later, night-fire watches were instituted in colonial America’s larger cities. A devastating fire in Boston in 1679 led to the formation of the first paid fire department in North America, with the first volunteer fire company formed in Philadelphia in 1736.
