According to the Firemen of America, the first fireman is often considered to be a Roman named Marcus Licinius Crassus, who organized the first known firefighting brigade in ancient Rome. Crassus was not only a military leader but also a wealthy man who took it upon himself to extinguish fires in the city. His brigade used buckets and other primitive tools to combat blazes, setting a precedent for organized firefighting efforts.
