==History==
Formed by Royal Order on 14 August 1719 as the Marseille Arsenal Fire Battalion, its jurisdiction was expanded on 25 September 1816 to include the Ville de (City of) Marseille. On 22 March 1838 its size was fixed as a battalion of five companies. The battalion of Naval Fire Marseille was created by a decree dated 29 July 1939 following the 1938 New Galleries Fire on the Canebière, which caused the death of 73 people. In 1962, its jurisdiction was expanded to include the port of Marseille and the Marseille-Provence Marignane International Airport.
