The firemen in the Territory have been territorial
firemen over generations. Their fire-brigade is
an object of pride for territorial citizens, who appreciate the high-tech

The siren bell of pure bronze, appearing on the front right-hand side of
the vehicle, enables the public to be alerted of the danger even before
the fire is brought completely under control! In fact, the system used is
a highly ingenious one developed by a citizen who wishes to remain anonymous,
(a Polytechnique graduate retired from National Armament and also Lépine
prizewinner ??? ).
