Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
On top of this I also found a photo of one of their stations. Check out this beauty. I count 10 bays.
Update: Apparently, I botched up this entire post (according to a comment). I linked to the wrong department and the video is from 2004 as I am told now. And here is the proper link for the Berlin Feuerwehr.
Ok, I admit that this is an “old” video. Not too old though. The video was uploaded last October and features Berlin Firefighters getting to work on a job. Once the firefighters get everything in place the building collapses and becomes engulfed in flames. At the very end it shows two firefighters barely getting out safely.
I thought since we were on the topic of firefighting in Europe I would incorporate this video (video below) to show off Berlin’s Bravest.
Gotta love this logo
To top all of that off, I found out that one of the volunteer departments in this City have a rather unique logo (below right). You can visit the website for this department here.
They have Full-time firefighters and Volunteers as well. Other than that it is a little hard to decipher exactly how this department operates even with translating it into English. It appears as though it has a central station with full timers and several other stations with volunteers. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
I will also note that this video was featured on TheBravestOnline.com.
I have also found a lot of information I will share in the future about the Bravest in other Countries.
