Broadfoot Marshals Station House
In every major city, fighting fires is a huge challenge, especially in a harbor district. Ships and buildings are often made entirely of wood, and a single fire can turn devastating in an instant. After a couple of major failures from the Docks’ publicly funded fire brigade, several private firefighting companies have risen up to take advantage of the need.
The most prominent firefighters are the Broadfoot Marshals, led by dwarven inventor Bagara Broadfoot. She has a fleet of mechanized carts that each hold a basin full of water attached to long hoses. Her teams are able to pump the water from the basin through dwarven ingenuity, running a bellows-like mechanism with the power of their own legs kicking at pedals connected to a series of gears and chains. For proactive measures, Bagara has installed small aqueducts throughout several buildings, each connected to a roof-mounted water tower. In the event of a fire, the heat melts wax plugs and allows the water to spray from several nearby valves. There have been a few occasions, however, where the wax has prematurely melted during hot summer days.
