fire company
Emergency response squad
A fire company is a group organized to fight fires—either a municipal fire department or a volunteer organization.
The term is especially common in areas with volunteer firefighting traditions: The local fire company holds a fundraiser every summer.
Fire companies often serve as community institutions beyond their firefighting role, hosting events and providing emergency services.
