Hallo Alex. Some fire departments in Chile were established by german settlers, like my department, which is more than 150 years old. If you want to learn more about my "german" station and chilean feuerwehr, visit www.primeravaldivia.cl

Hey Alex,

What's up? I see that you will be graduating from the Brandmeister.....That's great!!! The department I got on with is having an academy too....and we're graduating in September also!!

Otherwise, how are things?

Jul 20, 2009
Ashley

Hey Alex,

I'm doing good, busy, and can't wait till the academy is over also. I'm not sure what u mean by "pro"...Probationary/Rookie/Newbie? I am and I'm not. I will be considered Rookie/Pro, with the new department because I havent been there a year. However, I have my IFSAC firefighter certifications if that is what you are asking, and going on 5 years of service. So in a grand sense compared to everyone else in the world, yes, I'm still a rookie....lol. We were talking about the academy today with my group and we were laughing that it's going to be a switch from 8-5 to a 24hr. shift, especially when we've been doing this for 4.5months.

Take care and keep in touch

Not much I've been helping my dad teach a fire class he does every year at the high school we got your helmet from. We heard that your hydrants are located below ground and we were wondering if you can take some pics of them. Like were you keep the hydrants on your apparatus, what kind of markers do you use to tell you were to connect the hydrant, what does the connection look like. If there is any thing you want pics of ill try my best to get them for you.

Stay safe Bro

Hey Alex,

Happy Valentine's day! Things have been crazy for me too....I'm in the process of buying a house. FD related, that's been crazy too, we have gotten snow for the past 2 weekends, which where I am at is a huge deal because they do not get snow every winter. So they are not prepared to deal with it nor take care of the roadways. So a big mess. Other than that, things are good.

Take care and be safe Bro

What would u trade for a 2 msa GALLET helmet with a lights? My dad & Ive have been looking for a new rescue helmet but we just cant find any thing i like here in the US..

Be safe Bro

Aug 28, 2010
Chris C.

Me & my dad both would like to have the F1 gallet with the golden protection glass with XP LED lights if possible and as far as neck protection goes we were looking at doing vehicle rescue & firefighting with it so what would you recommend & we would like them to glow in the dark like the first one does and is that all u want is 1 pair of bunker pants for 2 helmets with lights? Oh & my mom wants some German coffee!!

I’m going to get u a hat made up and a Job shirt (a sweat shirt we wear in the station, has a denim collar, and elbow patches, 1/4 zipper at neck, pocket on chest will fit a portable radio.) great for cold weather calls very comfortable get even more so the more you wash it. I will send you a pic of want it looks like I’m going to make it custom for you so you can wear it when you work or at least I’m going to try you have sent me a lot of cool stuff so I’m going to try to send you something cool

I’m not sure if I can get u black gear because not to many Departments use that color any more do to road safety at night but I will try my best to get u black gear but I know I could get u tan or yellow gear If I can’t get u black what would u want tan or yellow? I’m going to need your measurements so I can get you gear that fits you...Do u need me & my dad to measure are heads so u can get helmets to fit us I know that there are different sizes of helmets?
