Marcus Licinius Crassus founded the first fire brigade in Rome. His brigade was made up of five hundred men. If the owner of a burning establishment could pay an agreeable price, his establishment would be saved. If the owner could not pay what Crassus wanted, then he would allow the establishment to burn to the ground.
