Corps of Firefighters of the Vatican City State
| Team info | |
|---|---|
| Description | Although the small size of the Vatican City makes dangerous fires a rare occurrence, the Corps is turned out, on average, more than once every day, to respond to demands for their varied skills in relation to first aid, civil defence, rescue, flood control, or simply the movement of vehicles, or provision of lifting or moving equipment. The Corp's duties include the installation and maintenance of fire alarm systems and fire fighting equipment throughout the State, and also in some extra-territorial locations of the Vatican City State in Rome. One of the most common rescues is the recovery of tourists who have become unwell or disorientated whilst climbing into the 450-foot-high dome of St Peter's Basilica. On Sunday 1 September 2019 Pope Francis, who is the Vatican Fire Brigade's commander-in-chief, became stuck in a failed lift (internal elevator) on his way to give his weekly audience to the crowd in St Peter's Square. He was rescued by the on-duty squad of the Corps of Firefighters, and began his address by asking the assembled crowd to join him in a round of applause for the Vatican Firefighters. |
