This is only one example, and there is always more to say, but I answered a related question for London in the period c.1670-1700, and you might like to review that response while you wait for fresh responses to your query:

I live in London in 1670, I have up to date fire insurance and a fire mark for my insurer, a fire has just broken out. How do I tell my insurer I need their fire brigade? What happens if there are multiple fires and all the services are being used?
