Hi



In my country Firemen are volunteers, i.e. do not receive any payment for his services to the community.
Many fire brigades (called here "Compañías") were founded by people of different nationalities who have come to this country to live during the course of the years.
And then there are the French Company, Italy, England, Spain, Israel, German, etc, etc.

This is a cinderella issued by the Italian Company when it celebrated 50 years (in 1964):

Here are images of the two stamps in a set publicizing fire protection, printed by lithogravure, and issued by Bulgaria in 1970, Scott Nos. 1905 & 1906.
