All emergency response systems are run by the government and all workers are paid. And are updated every year with the best equipment and technology available and in some areas they have been automated. It costs a bit but they save more people every year which means more people that can pay taxes. And if people have no place to live due to their home being destroyed then the government will provide a home for them to live in for free for up to a year at the end of which time they will start paying for the home for a predetermined payment plan that is best suited for them.

There is no fire department.

But there is a computer run network of fire suppression, and fire killers.

There is no national fire department in the Free Kingdom of Proprius, and the creation of privatized fire departments is an illegal act.

All important government and military buildings are specifically designed to resist invasion, and are thus immune to fire.

Other buildings however, are quite flammable and fires (Both small and large-scale) are routinely seen in the Kingdom.

In the Government's opinion, having to constantly rebuild structures encourages industry and progress, and the many fires toughen up the citizenry.

In Katzen, there are both public and private emergency services. The Katzen National Fire Authority is the public Fire/Rescue service with one battalion located in each district and at least one company in each county (the larger counties fund/maintain additional NFA stations). Municipalities either maintain a volunteer fire department or contract with a private fire company. There are various private firefighting companies across Katzen who usually operate on contract.

Emergency medical services is publicly provided by the Katzen Safety Patrol. Privately operated medical services and ambulance companies are common.

The fire department is nationalized and falls under the purview of the department of emergency services which also operates the ambulance service.

Emergency services are a protected state monopoly so there are no private service providers for emergency medical services or fire fighting. Although a outside contractor may be hired by the government to provide training should there be a development in a foreign nation that we wish to learn about, and most capitalist nations are only too happy to provide an expert or two in exchange for a suitable amount of goods.

Fire departments are considered an "essential service" in Central Kadigan. As such we do not leave to the private sector, who are concerned more with making money than with saving lives. All essential services in Central Kadigan are run by the state.

Fire, EMS, and Rescue services of Sud-Freistadt come mostly (70%) from the private sector-- it is commonplace among local and mulitnational corporations to have emergency services component, aside from the Freikorps (Sud-Freistadt's military and civil defense component) that do have such emergency service units of their own. Most are volunteer or commercial fire brigades and SAR, EMS squads with varying capacities (From firehouses that have only one fire truck to emergency service corporations that have fleets of rescue barges,incident command vehicles, NBC (Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) containment units, and air assets) .
Most of these volunteers and contractors have worked and training overseas from various international organizations, the emergency services community within the country has heavily benefited from immigrants. There are also foreign-staffed emergency service providers who prefer working in the country because of better pay and labor conditions, and a lower cost of living owing to the Sud-Frei culture of brutal efficiency.

There's no federal fire brigade in CL - each county has their own brigade and stay in their own county (unless there's a major fire in a neighbouring county and they request additional help).

Vostag's fire departments are almost completely automated we still have firefighters in case the automated system fails which there is a 0.1% chance that it will. Instead of risking human lives the Vostagian fire departments use specially designed robots that are built out of lightweight, heat resistant, flame retardant materials to prevent damage in the line of duty. It has an air and water tanks that are built into it that are on its back with hose adapters on the back as well so that it can be attached to say a fire hydrant and pump water straight to its dual arm mounted water cannons. Mounted in a chest compartment are several oxygen masks that are placed on victims upon rescue. Several tools are built into its arms such as dual water cannons, dual foam cannons, an axe on either arm, a pike pole on either arm usually opposite the axe armed arm, a halligan bar on either arm, various hydraulic rescue tools on both arms, a spanner wrench on each arm, a circular rescue saw on one arm and a chainsaw opposite it, dual mounted flashlights as well as spotlights on each shoulder and water/foam cannons on each shoulder, and hands both of which are attached to a cable that is on a winch so they both can be used as a winch. It also has a camera, infrared, heat detector, smoke detector, and gas detector built-in to its head.

Each of the 20 local authorities head their own Fire Brigade- examples are Woldland Metropolitan Fire Brigade and Abbeyland District Fire Brigade.
There is a military wing, too- Woodstead National Fire Service, which is also in service for our offshore territories. Each brigade usually has four or five stations; they have some independence from the national government, so municipal governments can have an equal power over its resources, though it must satisfy those within the national government's relevant committees if the Brigade is requesting a raise in money.

Each city possesses it's own Fire Department (Both commissioned and volunteer) while the District possesses a Fire Association which unites all of the Departments.

Each city or county has their own "Fire and Rescue Service" or "Fire Brigade". They're public services, duh. In cities firefighters are career professionals while rural areas rely on part-time or volunteer firefighters. The sparsely populated interior Provinces (Eldmark, Storberg, Aurora and Vergetend) have a Provincial fire service for sparsely populated areas and to deal with issues such as forest fires and search and rescue.
