General Directorate


Explanation:
Hay muchas referencias en Google confirmando que así se denomina la dirección a cargo de los bomberos.

En lo personal prefiero "General Directorate" pero "Directorate General" también es correcto.

Fire Department/Brigade


Explanation:
Depende del país. Departmen en EE.UU, brigade, Reino Unido.
Te sugiero la página de Valparaíso: www.bomberos valparaiso y las de Londres: http://www.ondond-fire.gov.uk/ y la de Texas http://www.roundroktexas.gov/home/index.asp?page=80
En estos casos son equivalentes por la función que cumplen y lo dirección corresponde a la organización de cada país o región. Mucha suerte.
