German Firefighters have Close Call

On top of this I also found a photo of one of their stations. Check out this beauty.

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.

    This Video is quite old, it is from an fire on 12.04.2004 in Berlin:

    Even so, it is still often used as an training Video for german fire fighters, because there are some things which could be done better and there are not many videos which show especially german firefighters at an close call.
