  • History of firefighting: "The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Marcus Licinius Crassus.

Upon arriving at the scene, however, the firefighters did nothing while their employer bargained over the price of their services with the distressed property owner. If Crassus could not negotiate a satisfactory price, his men simply let the structure burn, after which he offered to purchase it for a fraction of its value.
