History.
Music in the fire services of Paris can be dated as far back to 1811 when drums were incorporated in the ranks of fire units. The music band of the BSPP has its origins in a decree dating back to 27 April 1850, which assigned buglers in each firefighter company. Creations of additional companies in 1855, 1856 and 1859 increased the manpower to 30 sapper-bugles and of a sergeant-bugle. On 31 May 1885, the firemen of Paris are present at the funeral of Victor Hugo, during which the hearse was accompanied by a small music band of firemen on the Place de l'Étoile. In 1915, as the bombardment of the capital was nearing during the winter operations, the regiment received an order from the GMP go alert the population in the event of air raids. Many buglers sounded bugle calls throughout the city to alert residents of this news. On Bastille Day in 1937, a corps of drums joined the bugles and in 1944 a full military band was established to celebrate the Liberation of Paris. In 1950, the regimental brass band became the official regimental band and then the brigade band on 1 March 1967.
