Je crois que ce sont des pompiers français protestant quelque chose. Mais quoi? Vous devez admettre que ces gars-là me sentais très fort sur tout ce qu'ils protestaient contre ... Comme si les casques ... Rester en sécurité et toujours garder le sourire! Plus tard, CBZ

I would be interested in trading helmets and shirts.
Thanks

Hello Burgel,

Thanks for the invite! - All the best to you and your Department.

Hey, thanks for the friend request brother.. it is great to know someone from France! stay safe and god bless

Devan, Engine 14.

I do not know of anyone with actual leather helmets. Sorry.

Hi Burgel,

You might want to check with the East Coast (USA) big city departments. For example, Chicago, New York, Boston.

Unfortunately, we don't use the leather helmets here and the on the West Coast (USA) most, if not all, departments use bullard helmets. Their use is becoming rarer because they cost around three hundred dollars and are much more expensive than the modern bullard by about two hundred dollars. The bullard is also believed to be a safer helmet.

Thank you for your friend request and for posting the photo slide show.

Burgel,

I am also on the West Coast of the USA and like Laura wrote, we do not have the leather-style helmets you're looking for.

Regards.

Theres a link that explains international shipping and what i feel is a good leather helmet roughly 375.790 EUR in america its 479.00 then you add your shipping fees to it

thanks for the invite

Good luck w/ your helmet search...I'm a modern helmet dept and are "old" helmets were very basic traditionals.

Burgel,

Which leather helmet are you looking for?
I get my helmets on ebay. You might want to get one there.

Ghostman

Burgel,

Yes that will be great. You can show me a picture of your helmet if you'd like. Which type of US helmet do you want?

Burgel,

What size shirt do you want buddy?

Bienvenido My Friend is great stay here to FFN, House the Pompiers,your brother Wampa

burgel, thanks for the add i don't take any of them lightly ,,,, but a bad move on your part though because now your gonna have to write now and then to help me remember who you are :-D ,,,, tell about anything, life, the wife, the job, kids, even a good joke ,,,, nothing like exchanging e-mails with friends when it's slow here at the station or at home when i'm chill-in ,,,, looks like you've been around so no need to share my welcome message with you ,,,, but i am anyway just to let you know where i stand ,,,, i also hope you read my profile to understand me a little more too ,,,,

i made it my mission to warn new comers about people that trade patches and or tee-shirts ,,,, there are a few people here that just want to get something then not send anything back ,,,, i will not mail anything now till i have something in hand ,,,, my goal is not to get a patch from anyone i do not collect them ,,,, but i will trade duty tee-shirts from far away countries and that's how i got "BURNED" ,,,, i sent some sleaze a tee-shirt & 3 patches and got nothing back ,,,, so i warn them that like in the fire service, not all things may not be as they appear ,,,,

work hard, play hard and train even harder, what we do makes a difference ,,,, be safe, god bless and smile a lot and every day, it will piss someone off ,,,,

C-ya, be safe and god bless
ron

PS: love the pics, keep-em coming ,,,,

Thanks for having me as a friend. "STAY SAFE" Keep in touch.
