The "type" of Bagpipe that is used in the Fire service is the "Great Highland Bagpipe" which has 3 drones a Bass which is 2 octaves below and two tenor drones which are one octave below the "tonic" note on the chanter.
The Great Highland Bagpipe as the name implys was the traditional instrument of the Scottish Highlands who's music was passed verbally from father to son during the political times in which the English outlawed all things "native to the highlands" as well as in other areas of the Isles.
To understand, the the entire picture, one must take a serious look at Scots, Irish and English history, Going back 500 years.... and see how it leads us back to a largely Irish tradition using a Scottish Instrument... I could go into it but fear it would take me far from your original query
