			==Role==

			The Ibaglian Fire Service responds to all fires within Ibagli (except those handled solely by Ministry of Defence forces). It is also responsible for providing rescue services at other emergencies, such as natural disasters and automobile accidents. As the number of firefighters with paramedic training has increased, the IFS has been called on as first responders for the [[Ambulance Service]]. Most pumper units carry rescue and medical equipment. The IFS also has two heavy rescue trucks that respond to major rescue emergencies.

The '''Ibaglian Fire Service''' is the national fire fighting agency of [[Ibagli]]. It was created in 1973.

==History==

Before the creation of the IFS, fire fighting was provided by locally-operated fire brigades. The [[Ministry of Defence]] also operated fire fighting services at [[Ibaglian armed forces|armed forces]] installations. Other towns contracted with neighboring brigades to cover their territory. The Ministry of Defence contracted with fire brigades on behalf of rural residents, as well.

On 21 October 1971, a fire broke out in a residence in [[Guelph]]. The town had recently ended its contract with the fire brigade in [[Acton]] after an acrimonious dispute over payment. The brigade chief refused to send any equipment to the fire. The Ministry of Defence dispatched two pumpers from [[HMNB Crofton]], over 30 kilometres away by road, to the fire. The chief of the [[Crofton]] fire brigade also sent a pumper and a water tender fifteen minutes later. After the fire was extinguished, the bodies of two adults and four children were found in the home.
