theocd Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 either Birminghamshire in 1882/1883 or someplace in London with only 8 constablesYou are close with the date and reasonably close with the place. By the way, its Birmingham, not all places are 'shires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ami89E1234 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 well i was reading a British police forum (http://www.policespecials.com/forum/index.php?act=idx) and someone said Birminghamshire while reading a topic about Market police so...1 more day till the question deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Was it Smithfield Market Constabulary in 1881? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theocd Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 @randomperson139No, sorry, not the information I have anyway.@Ami89E1234Don't worry about the complex nature in which the UK is split. Having a look at the forum suggested that was international aswell. I wonder whether this will be the first one that gets people stumped?EDIT: To avoid double posting and as the deadline is up the answer is (drum roll please)... Liverpool in 1860. Ami89E1234 you may choose another person to go as per the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ami89E1234 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 ??jab16 - Apr 17 2009, 04:52 AM: Where is the worlds oldest fire department FortErieFireEli - Apr 17 2009, 06:49 AM: It would be the "Vigili del Fuoco" of Italy. It has, for the last 4 years, been under tremendous pressure financially. The "Vigili del Fuoco" is a national Fire Department. Typically, a station has 5 units: a "Pumpa," or Engine, a reserve "Pumpa," a Tanker, a light-duty Rescue for MVC's, and a 4x4 Duty truck. Italy does NOT mount Interior Attacks, and the only time people don SCBA is to make a rescue. "Smokedivers," as they call them, must be nationally certified, similar to SCUBA over here in NA. Attack lines are 1 1/2", whilst Supply lines are 2 1/2".Vigili Del Fuoco has a very high MVC rate, as the roads outside of cities and villages have no posted limits. To further the problems, stations are spread thin, as it is a National Department, with Regional Command Centers spread through-out Italy. This means that some response times are pushing 30 minutes.Am I right, or did I just waste half an hours research? jab16 - Apr 17 2009, 02:24: Correct well doneNewfoundking's question DOES NOT count. therefore i give the question to randomperson139 or whoever posts first (except Newfoundking, since according to the rules he did go last (even though the question does not count)crap now i gotta go edit the rules**MENTAL NOTE TO SELF: EDIT RULES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ABOVE TEXT ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
