Today, Mexico celebrates the work of firefighters, who in addition to preventing, controlling and extinguishing fires, support the citizenship in cases of floods, vehicular accidents and even in the rescue of kittens trapped in trees.
Similarly, the so-called "matafuegos" or "tragahumos" risk their lives to deal with incidents involving hazardous materials, spill and chemical handling and control, mountain rescues, as well as the effects of natural disasters.
On August 22, 1873, the first fire brigade of Mexico was created in the port of Veracruz, while for 1922, the Regulation of the Fire Department of the Federal District was issued . . .
