English term or phrase: fire department

Qual é a tradução de fire department?

When I finally turned back to my students, I was surprised to find that they were still there, and that they'd put out the fire without me, and were talking about calling the fire department, and alerting the principal, and the police, perhaps searching Sylvia for more matches, and calling her parents, whom no one ever saw. The fire chief arrived within ten minutes and studied the contents of my garbage can.
