Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Today, such brigades still protect the majority of rural communities, proving that a volunteer model can rival paid services in effectiveness.
- Over time, this training turned loosely organized bucket lines into disciplined units capable of responding within minutes of a call.
- Because these volunteers were rarely professional firefighters, local departments began holding regular weekend drills to teach hose handling, ladder work, and basic rescue techniques.
- This necessity gave rise to volunteer fire brigades, groups of ordinary citizens who agreed to drop their daily work and respond the moment an alarm sounded.
- In many small towns without the tax base to fund a full-time fire department, residents historically had to rely on each other whenever a blaze broke out.
