The department I worked for was originated as a Public Safety department. Officers had both Police and Fire duties from 1963-1981. At that time, the department split the two departments into two independent full time departments. Here are some of the patrol cars of that era. Officers work a Police uniform when on patrol, but when they responded to fire call, they took off the gun belt and threw it in the trunk and put on the fire gear and SCBA that was carried in the trunk.
