Which of the following shows the influence of Rome’s Emperor Augustus on firefighting early in the first century?

Augustus established Rome’s organized fire brigade, the Vigiles, early in the first century CE. They patrolled the city, especially at night, and carried equipment such as buckets to respond to fires. So the choice describing men roaming and watching for fires is the best answer; Augustus did not design the first water pump or stop Rome’s great fire in a day.
