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.
not much...busy weekend as usual...the guys and I are playing some golf today then this weekend is our bbq....take care and stay safe over there....just curious, what class are/did you take?
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
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.
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.
