Introduction:
ROME
The first Roman fire brigade was a grouped of slaves who
were hired by Marcus Ignatius Rufus. Augustus took this idea
from Rufus and then built on it to form the vigils in 6 A.D to
combat fires using buckets and pumps, as well as poles and
hooks to tear down buildings in advance of the flames. The
Vigiles patrolled the streets of Rome to watch for fires and
served the police force.
Richard Newsham
A native of London further developed the fire engine in
1725, pulled as a cart to the fire scene, these manual pumps
were manned by teams of men and could deliver up to 160
gallons per minutes at up to 120 feet (40 meters).

Investigative aspect of fire behavior
Since common causes of fire is always an accidental fire but in the field of fire
investigation this causes is always considered but it needs in-depth investigation so that
the said alleged causes will be proved after the fire investigation conducted by the fire
personnel.
Arson is the crime of deliberately setting fire to others property for fraudulent or
malicious purposes. Same with the other common crimes, the purpose or the motive is
more important to establish.
Fire is a rapid chemical reaction that gives off energy and products of combustion
that are very different in composition from the fuel and oxygen that combined to
produce them. For the purpose of simple understanding on how the fire grows and
products of combustible materials it’s better to emphasized the basic theory from
physical science or the chemistry of fire which also include the related laws of physics
and its relation to matter and energy (Hall and Barbara 1998).
