Primary mission of the Cyprus Fire Service (Greek: , (トルコ語:Kıbrıs İtfaiyesi)) is to undertake the task of rescues from building rubbles, the highlands, water bodies (sea, damns etc.), major traffic accidents, aviation accidents and fire disasters as well as firefighting on ships, aircraft, petroleum installations, buildings, rural areas, forest areas and chemical fires (HAZMAT)〔http://www.fs.gov.cy/fs/fs.nsf/DMLMission_gr/DMLMission_gr?OpenDocument〕 ==History== The first form of organized fire brigade was formed in the 1920s, on a primitive basis for today's standards, by the Municipalities of the city of Nicosia and Limassol. Firefighting, among other tasks, was undertaken by volunteers and employees of the municipalities. At the same time, in Nicosia, the “Police Fire Brigade” was formed to the standards of other British colonies of the time, with Police Officers being organised into firefighting groups, depending on the circumstances and the time. In 1935 with the reorganization of the Police, the “Police Fire Brigade” was organized on a firmer basis, introducing new vehicles, permanent stuff (that were serving as Police Special Constables and were specifically trained for the task) and with a fire station next to the Paphos Gate Police station, both of which exist at the same location today. With the outbreak of the Second World War and the establishment of the British Department of Air Defence for the protection from air raids, firefighting teams were established in all cities. With the end of the war, fire stations were established in the towns of Limassol and Famagusta. Permanent Police Officers along with emergency personnel were manning the stations. The Fire Service, in its present form, was launched in the mid-1950s, to meet the needs of the British that arose, due to the anti-colonial struggle of Cypriots and the developments in the Suez area. New Fire Stations were created in all cities with permanent staff and with the legislation which is in force until today, the "Cyprus Fire Service" was formed within the organizational structure of the police.〔http://www.fs.gov.cy/fs/fs.nsf/DMLHistory_gr/DMLHistory_gr?OpenDocument〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cyprus Fire Service」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
