[There is a difference between a Pompieri Fireman which is a civil servant (wore a different helmet) and that of a military Pompieri Fireman who were mainly made up of Artillery officers who were in charge of protecting the Royal Palaces.

Congratulation for the very intersting and unique photos.
According the 1930 regulatrion, all military firemen officers wore for special events (Great Gala dress Nr. 1, Gala dress Nr. 2, Evening dress Nr. 3 and Ceremonial dress Nr. 4) artillery uniforms: double breasted brown tunics with red collar and pointed cuffs, with black piping. On the collar was embroidered the artillery symbol: the flamed grenade over to crossed axes. The same symbol was stamped on the buttons and cartridge pouch.
The firemen used artillery style tunics because between 1872 and about 1900 they also were territorial artillerists.
In that particularly photo, the military firemen wear the Service dress Nr. 5, with helmet, kaki tunic and breeches, white shirt, black tie, fringed epaulettes, cartridge pouch, gold waist belt, red leather gloves, black riding boots.
In the group photo, only the commander of the unit carries white heron plume, all other officers have cock red feathers.
Military firemen units were the main fire defence units in Romania. They all wore the same uniform. Civilian firemen services were set up in different cities, most of them in Transylvania as remainder of the pre-1918 era, and have a great variety of civilian uniforms and helmets. Some samples of these head dresses could be seen in the Firemen Museum of “Foisorul de Foc”, in Bucharest.

Commanding Colonel of the military Fireman. Notice the artillery tunic.

This colonel carried the 100 years anniversary gorget, adopted in 1935 to commemorate the set up of the first firemen military unit in Moldavia, in 1835.

White heron plume was the symbol of an unit commander for all branches of the army.

Helmet worn by that Royal Palace Guard Regiment and the Royal Guard Cavalry Regiment.

This helmet was carried by the Royal Escort/Horse Guard Regiment officers and men, because it bears the cipher of King Carol I . Officers and men of the Palace Guard Battalion and Kings’ aid-de-camps & military attaches had similar helmets but with the cipher of King Carol II.

It looks like an early 1930's period Air Force patch for NCO's applied to a late 1930's period Artillery cap for junior officers.
