En Angleterre, l'expression «fire brigade» désigne un service public d'incendie, tandis qu'aux États-Unis elle s'applique généralement à l'équipe d'incendie d'une entreprise privée. En français, "brigade" se dit surtout, de nos jours, d'une unité militaire de plusieurs milliers d'hommes placée sous le commandement d'un général. 1, record 1, French, - corps%20de%20pompiers
