      Crassus invented the fire brigade

      Didn't he routinely order his brigade to do nothing until he managed to acquire the burning property (at increasingly decreased cost as the fire raged) from its owner ?

        Yes, that too. He also was one of the most prominent slave traders of the time and put down the Spartacus revolt.

        Trying to find the silver lining here.
