The fire brigade is a difficult job, called to put out fires or to intervene in emergencies such as road accidents, leaks of toxic substances or unsafe buildings. A long history that of the National Fire Brigade, which took this name in 1941 (in place of the Fire Brigade) and in 1961 was demilitarized by being placed directly under the Ministry of the Interior with the exception of Trentino-Alto Adige and Valle d’Aosta, where the firefighters depend on the administrations and autonomous. A militarily ordered civil body called to operate beyond the prevention and fight against fires, including civil protection, civil defense and training. To carry out the assigned tasks, the Corps can count on a great variety of vehicles, from fire engines to ladder trucks, cranes, forest vehicles, as well as boats of different sizes and helicopters.
