Look - start a fire, in a prominent office building, for example.

Then, when the fire crews arrive, tell them "Look, I only wanted to join you guys! As you can see, I have a healthy interest in fire...."

They will give you an application form to fill in......... I would think.........

the fire service was originally started up by the British Fire Service as was the Police - but from what I hear (and see) I assume they are no longer involved. I saw an advert for firefighters once - 2000 dhs a month. Rather worrying isn't it :(

Are the police locals? :blink:

Arabs certainly, but I thought they were Yemeni, for example... Can't imagine locals standing in the heat resolving a traffic collision dispute somehow. (Of course I'm talking about the bobbies here, not the brigadiers or what have you)
