From the Tarocks website (https://www.tarocks.com/library/sapeur-pompiers-de-paris): [This] was an initiative of Charly Ripa, a veteran firefighter as a tribute to the commander of the brigade of Paris’s firefighters [Raoul Viger]. We could not determine who compiled the images, nor could we discover it’s exact publication date, but judging from the images shown, it is reasonable to guess that the cards have been published somewhere between 1978-1985. From The World of Playing Cards website (https://www.wopc.co.uk/france/tarot-pompiers-de-paris): Produced as a French Fire Brigade tribute tarot deck, thanks to Charly Ripa and Raoul Viger. Individual card visuals can be found on both websites. Additional information is also on the Tarocks website (link above).
