Sven,

Welcome, Brother! I was stationed for three years in Kaiserslautern while in the army and had a great time-what a wonderful country! I have been a volunteer firefighter for almost 12 years in Maryland. Take care and be safe.

Yo, Sven! You'll be happy to know your participation here is welcome and that your English is at least as good as about 90% of FFN.
(35 men and one woman? Ask her if she wants to swap gear with an American FF).
