Romans were the first organized Fire brigades. the very first were slaves pressed into service by an Aedile, but I couldn't tell you who. The first semi professional brigades were called the Vigiles Urbani, or it might have been Urbani Vigiles I don't speak old Roman. They were the ones who organized the first fire stations and in general created the basic structure of the fire department that we still use today.
