    ⓘ Pompiers The ( sapeurs)- pompiers play a unique role in modern France. To all intents and purposes the equivalent of the emergency services on 999 in Britain or 911 in the US, they are the firemen who turn out when required, but also have teams of highly-trained paramedics who are constantly on call to deal with all manner of emergencies including traffic accidents. Unless there is a crime involved, people tend to call les pompiers on 18.
