background
The establishment of a fire brigade was suggested by Emperor Peter II during his visit to Paraná in 1880.
The city council of Curitiba received the sum of 500 R $ from the emperor for the purchase of a fire pump . However, since this amount was quite low, it was only enough to buy a very small pump . Furthermore, it had some defective parts and was therefore unsuitable for use. In 1882 Law No. 679 was passed, which required some of the police to carry out fire-fighting exercises to meet the needs of the provincial capital.
In 1886 the police tried to purchase a pump from the Compania de Aprendizes Marinheiros de Paranaguá . After a detailed examination it turned out that some of the material of this pump was unsuitable for the application. After the proclamation of the republic in 1894, the establishment of a fire department was approved, which was affiliated to the Regimento de Segurança (Military Police of Paraná). Her staff increased so that she was raised to a company in 1906 . Although both the necessary equipment and the necessary financial resources were lacking, the Teuto-Brazilian Society was the only volunteer fire department in the city of Curitiba from 1897 to 1901 .
Paraná State Fire Brigade
The fire brigade was founded in 1912 by the then governor , Carlos Cavalcanti de Albuquerque. The corporation was modeled after the French Sapeurs -pompiers ( Paris Fire Brigade equipped) with complete autonomy. These were militarized and organized as army technicians . The fire brigade of the Federal District, which was adopted in terms of structure , organization and uniforms , served as a model .
