Ah yep

Is it nationalized or on the local level?
They're run by provincial governments

Do you utilize paid or volunteer members or both?
Paid members. Volunteers are only used in more remote areas

Services they offer e.g. fire protection, medical services, rescue services, etc.?
Normally putting out fires. They're called a "Fire and Rescue Service", so they sometimes help with problems that don't involve fire. Usually the ambulance service accompanies them.

Well it would be kind of crazy not to have such services. Why yes, we do.

Is it nationalized or on the local level?
There are both national and local levels; local fire departments deal with neighborhood fires and local emergencies, whereas the national fire services are more broad and engage in more serious fires in other parts of the city.

Do you utilize paid or volunteer members or both?
Local firefighters are (usually) volunteer, whereas national firefighters are paid positions.

Services they offer e.g. fire protection, medical services, rescue services, etc.?
All of the above.

First, does your nation have a fire service/services?
In a sense, yes. The majority of security machines have flame reducing tools, but in case of large and/or chemical fires, actual fire service machines are called in...

Is it nationalized or on the local level?
Nationalized

Do you utilize paid or volunteer members or both?
They are in service to D-16. They are not paid, nor are they "volunteers"...

Services they offer e.g. fire protection, medical services, rescue services, etc.?
Fire protection is of the main priority, as is salvaging of the machine in flames. If the machine/structure in general cannot be saved, it is then later salvaged for recycable metal.

First, does your nation have a fire service/services?
Yes
Is it nationalized or on the local level?
Both
Do you utilize paid or volunteer members or both?
Both, although paid professionals are used mainly in emergencies and volunteers stay at the stations and keep equipment up to date.
Services they offer e.g. fire protection, medical services, rescue services, etc.?
Fire protection is obviously the main service although they work in rescue operations, first responders to an emergency, and other services where trained fire/medical personal are required.
Equipment/uniform examples and any other info you would like to share.

A standard firefighter uniform with a foam pack on his back. The helmet contains a full heads-up-display with a state of the art life support system. The helmet contains a built in com-link to keep in touch with other personal also. The suits have different upgrades depending on the operation. Also, note the uniform is rather dull and firefighters are allowed to personalize their uniforms to identify each other easier, but it cannot be too distracting or interfere with equipment.
