#1 those first firefighters were the slaves of rich romans who used this opportunity to get more property in Rome. They would destroy the house after they put the fire out and replace it by insulae, apartment buildings. They did this until it was eventually forbidden and a official brigade, the vigiles, was founded. Modern firefighters in Italy are still called vigiles.
