Since the upgraded the firebrigade 5920 they have had no great fires (and there will not be anyone anymore, unless the PC:s start one themselves). There are thirty people working at the firebrigade in this moment and they will increase their numbers to forty (6060). They are being trained every day and in the city the are easy recognised in their blue fire-resistant uniform with firered arms and legs. On the back of the uniform L.F.B. is written in fireletters. The brigade can arrive to a burning building very fast, usually in a couple of minutes. They use horsecarts, which looks like advanced chariots, where they have mediumsized watertanks. These chariots will come first to the fires they will fight and then the huge waterwagon (only one), arrive half an hour later at most, pulled there by four or six oxen. The brigade also train one or two men or women in each block and these people will help directly when a building is struck by the fire. These people is the answer of the nowadays so few fires that occur in Lethys. These people also work for the guard in town and all people know who their men in their block are. It is easy to call for the firebrigade because there is a big bell attached to buildingwalls on many houses and buildings in Lethys and when you ring one bell an advanced bellringingsystem starts ringing in the town. And the brigade will be alarmed and they will be led to the firestruck building with this advanced system. The firebrigade in the city are known as just 'the brigade' or L.F.B. See also 33.
