Corpo de Bombeiros de Macau

Corpo de Bombeiros de Macau or Macau Corps of Firefighters is responsible for fire and rescue services in Macau. The current civilian agency CDBM was formed in 1999, but volunteer fire brigades dates back to 1851 and full time department in 1883. Prior to 1851, the Portuguese military provided fire services in the colony. Today the department is organized under the Macau Security Force (since 1976 after decades as a division of public works, Leal Senado and municipal control). The brigade is responsible for fire and rescue for both land and air.

The Fire Brigade operates ambulance service (Ambulância de Macau), but the Macau Red Cross also operates ambulances (Toyota HiAce vans) for emergency and non-emergencies to local hospitals with volunteer staff.

The organization has a total of 739 uniformed firefighters and paramedics serving from 7 fire stations in Macau with one central HQ on Macau.
