Theoretically - yes. However - your 'powers of arrest' are limited to those of any ordinary citizen.
Another View: Actually -- no, you cannot. It is realized that the word 'police' is commonly misused and misunderstood by the general public to refer to any uniformed force carrying out enforcement-type functions. However, the fact is that only the government retains "police" powers and you cannot assume "police"powers on yourself. You can certainly choose to start a business supplying guard services or uniformed security forces but you would not be establishing your own "police" force.

Almost certainly not.
Organizations created to fight fire have vast amounts of expertise, money, resources, links to other emergency services and personnel to deliver a service to communities.
Unless you are being asked by a town, city or other government to build a fire department, you will have no chance of creating a fire department. If you have been asked by a government or council to start a fire department, it is unlikely that you will be asking this question here.
