Why?
The police (mainly in towns and cities) and the gendarmerie (mainly in the countryside and on the roads) are the law enforcement forces (forces de l’ordre). They prevent offences, maintain public order and protect people and property. Firefighters, on the other hand, come to help in case of fire or accident.
