There were four different demonstration events of firefighting at the 1900 Paris Exposition, which were really only exhibitions by firefighting crews. We know that there were four British companies exhibiting their firefighting and life-saving expertise, with crews from Windsor, Lydd in Kent, Bournemouth, and Worthing, and we have recently discovered most of the team rosters in newspapers from 1900.
