Yes, we had a call last week that came in at 1:11pm until 1:00am. We have seven fire departments involved. No injuries but becasue the house was built in the 1800s and was a balloon structure we had real problems getting the fire out. That particular day we had high winds and sever cold which added to the problem. The fire started in the basement with the furnace. After two hours the medics removed me from the fire scene because of my physical condition so they thought. They told command so their was no to sneak back in. But this happens sometimes when you cheat, I skipped rehab too many times. So, on that note, stay safe.

Vie gehts! i'm not too bad. what's happening.

Apr 5, 2008
Hyre313

yeah we had a few. we had a 3 hour brush fire a couple weeks ago, we also had a car hit by a train. the rest of the calls were filled with false alarms and such. we usually run about 400 calls a year, give or take.

Hyre313

oh well, the job's the same. i just got back from another brush fire. me, my lieutenant, and my chief were the first ones there so i had to climb up the hill alone ha ha. my knees were hurting

Jun 6, 2008
Ian Schulte

so is every department in Germany volunteer? or are there paid departments?

Jun 12, 2008
Ian Schulte

thats pretty kick ass... do the berufsfeuerwehr work a 24/48 schedule or is that also something that is more common in america? cause i truly don't know much about the German fire service.

Jun 12, 2008
Ian Schulte

thats pretty cool, its just different to see how different countries have different schedules.

Ashley

hey, what's going on? What have you been up to lately?

Aug 14, 2008
Ashley

Working finishing up rescue tech. cert. I'll have that finished next weekend. other than that working a lot of shifts and trying to get released by the department to function as an EMT-Intermediate (ALS cert. below medic). My state recognizes 3 levels. Other than that I got into wakeboarding. Gotta try it if you have a chance....it's pretty awesome!! Oh, by the way, would you be interested in trading patches?

Aug 15, 2008
Markus K

wakeboarding is great.
yeah, i´m very interseted in trading patches..
i try to get one of my dept. as soon as possible.. but its actually pretty hard to get some here...anyway its worth a try. XD
have a great day

Aug 16, 2008
Ashley

Ok cool..I wouldn't say it's easy to get our department patch but it can be done. I would have suggested shirts but that's out of the question at my department. My cousin's department (northern east coast) is different... Also, if I go to one of the up-coming expos I'll see if there are any from a big city for you. I've seen NY, Boston, and Philly patches at previous expos. That won't be until end of August and mid-Sept. Otherwise, take care and stay safe!!
