In Chile, firefighters are called "Bomberos". They are volunteers, which means they finance the acquisition, maintenance and operation of their buildings and equipment (including firetrucks) rather than rely upon government allocations. All the officers are democratically elected by the volunteers. The government does not finance specialization courses for firefighters. Instead, they have to pay for it on their own. 'Bomberos' is the name given for the firefighters in most Spanish speaking countries.
Founded in 1851, Valparaíso's Fire Department is the oldest. Following are the Santiago Fire Department established in 1863. Now all cities have a Fire Department each of which has its own officers and companies.
Many of the companies were founded by resident members of European colonies such as the Germans, British, Spanish, French and Italians.
