The Romans created a group of firefighters called the Vigiles or Watchmen, in each ward of the city. Since fire was a constant threat in ancient Rome, these men were responsible for getting to them quickly and extinguishing them. They could also act as a sort of police force and arrest and detain troublemakers and break up fights.
