yes, it´s a little more less! :-)
But, scandinavien firefighters are well known for their good education and training. I had a training in Denmark a few yaers ago and I must say, very, very good! Some colleaques from me were in sweden for a training and they also say: very, very good!
Like I said, let me know when you want to come and we´ll make a date.
Best regards
Matthias
yes perfect, you unterstood eveything right! We´re the biggest station in Berlin.
Let me know when you want to come and we´ll make a date! How many FF are you in a shift?
Best regards
Matthias
When I am next in the station I will arrange some info and a pps for you and send it over to you do you have an email address to send it to or canI send it through this?
I have not used this site much.
I would love to find out more about life in the fire service over there so I will be keeping an eye on your page
Kind regards
Ben.
yes I think is possible! You can watch my station if you like. You also can visit one of the other 38 station in Berlin. Have a look to: www.berliner-feuerwehr.de/standorte.html
here you have a short view over all our stations, ok it is in German but maybe you understand some of the information. I work at the station Treptow ( 5300).
Best regards
Matthias
I think the best way to get a hold of powerpoint is to ask our special Department for education. I send you the e-mail adress und you can ask their directly. Here you are:
aus-u.fortbildung@berliner-feuerwehr.de
I hope they can help you! If not, let me know!
Best regards
Matthias/ Berlin Firefighter
Are you having the same issues Malmö Fire is having with the stoning s? I have been reading about their problems and can not imagine that happening here. The Police would be far less restrained in their response.
So I would be happy to add content, I am the department webmaster. And we too are going through a rebuild. My third in 3 years. The new hosting site is challenging, but I am working through it.

Tack för att delta i gruppen. Ser fram emot att lära sig mer om hur våra skandinaviska bröder arbete. Min familj kom från Eskilstuna och Tvååker på västkusten.
Var försiktig och vara säker,
Wally
