We mourn the loss of a fire brigade comrade who died in Schleswig-Holstein during a mission.

Our compassion is for the family and the comrades.

At operations during the storm Friederike three German firefighters were killed in the past week.

We mourn with the families and comrades. 

For a better overview, the area Germany was divided into the sub-areas "German Reich", "Weimar Republic", "Third Reich" and Federal Republic of Germany ". The already existing part of the German Democratic Republic was included here.

Due to the paragraph § 86 StGB (Federal Republic of Germany) I would like to clarify some things:

On my website are various photographs of firefighter helmets or objects, which are provided with insignia of the 3rd Reich.
According to § 86 StGB, the swastika is a forbidden sign.
With the badges I show, I neither pursue the goal of propaganda for the right-wing scene, nor do I want to score by showing the characters.

That's why I explain:

The symbols shown here do not meet the criminal offense according to § 86 and 86a StGB.
It should be noted that the representation of the shown helmets of the 3rd Reich done in connection with the German fire department history.

Thus, the badges serve the teaching of current affairs.

They therefore comply with § 86 (3) and are therefore not a criminal offense.

"Germany" 

Thank you for over 240,000 visits in the past year 2017.
I'm happy about this large number because it shows me that I'm on the right track with my website.

You are welcome to come back again this year.

Today we had a very nice visit from the USA. Joe Brown and his wife Bonny are from Lincroft NJ. I met Joe in 2004 when I took part at the Steuben Parade in New York with my Fire Department.
We had a very nice conversation and looked at the helmet collection. Of course, Joe also discovered the helmet of his fire department.

Right or left? Fire department clears up

Standstill in traffic jam. What is even more annoying, the firefighters from Oyten near Bremen have shown in an emotional Facebook clip: They complain that many drivers do not manage to form a rescue lane. This not only makes the work of the rescue workers more difficult, it can also cost lives of victims of accidents.

Film unfortunately only in German but pictures say more than 1000 words

Christmas.
They are brightly lit nights of candles -
happy faces, complete children salvation.
Gone are all the sorrow, all the pain -
it counts only the joyous time.
May the Christmas season help us to go through life more relaxed -
not only perceive what is bothersome.
May we see the beautiful things again significantly
and confine ourselves to that which is really important.

All, whom we were connected in the past year -
we wish in this way, a merry Christmas
and a healthy, happy new year 2016.

What is C-Thru?

C-Thru is a Smoke Diving Helmet designed for the firefighters to aid them through their smoke diving search and rescue missions. Since it is almost impossible to see within the highly dense smoke, The smoke divers have to crawl on the ground and find their way by keeping hand contact with the walls while carrying heavy air supports and hand held equipments. At the same time they need to keep checking the thermal imaging device and need to keep hold on to one another's air tank handle in order not to lose each other. They also have less than six minutes to rescue all the victims within the building before the smoke kills them. C-thru provides a wireframe vision of the interior geometry surrounding the smoke diver, and enhances the surrounding sounds selectively, thus letting the smoke divers search for the victims more accurately. It simplifies many separate layers of heat and impact protection into a single package. which stabilizes and eases the movements.

C-Thru is currently in development.
If you are interested in this product, no matter if you are a customer or Manufacturer, then please contact me.
