The Feuerwehr is a number of German fire departments. The responsible body for operating and equipping fire departments are the German communities ("Gemeinden") and cities ("Städte"). By law, they are required to operate a fire-fighting force including Emergency medical services (EMS) in numbers corresponding to the inhabitants of the county or city. In cities, this is usually performed by the Fire Prevention Bureau, one of the higher-ranking authorities.
Most of Germany's 1,383,730 fire fighters are members of voluntary fire brigades, with a lesser number working in professional fire brigades either operated by
a municipal body, such as the city of Berlin (Berufsfeuerwehr - full-time city department)
a larger company ("Werkfeuerwehr", for the needs of the company operating them) e.g. refineries or chemical industry production facilities
airports to meet the ICAO requirements ("Flughafenfeuerwehr" - this includes airplane factories like that of Airbus in Hamburg)
the armed forces ("Bundeswehr-Feuerwehr" with specialized divisions such as "Fliegerhorstfeuerwehr Cologne-Wahn"/located at German air force bases, military bases, naval bases as well as on any ship of the German navy).
By law, cities with a population of more than 80,000-100,000 people (depending on the state) are required to have a professional fire fighting force ("Berufsfeuerwehr"). Others such as smaller cities and towns can set up a full-time force ("Hauptamtliche Wachbereitschaft"), which is basically a group or a squadron occupying one large fire station around the clock. This force deals with smaller incidents on its own and is supported by voluntary forces for larger incidents. Each community meets the need of fire-fighting personnel by setting up a voluntary force ("Freiwillige Feuerwehr"). A community or a city may also set up a professional fire fighting force without additional volunteer forces. In case it is not possible to recruit enough personnel for this job, the mayor of a city is required to set up a "Pflichtfeuerwehr" (compulsory fire brigade), where he will draft the number of personnel required.

Andover Apartment Fire & Aftermath. This fire started at the Andover Apartments just across the border from Maumee in Toledo. Several agencies including Maumee Police/Fire reponded to assist. A total of 3 buildings burned which is 35 Aparmtent Units unfortunately displacing dozens of residents. No one was injured or killled thankfully. The high winds defintly contributed to the fire spreading as fast as it did. This complex is located off Eastgate Road.
I love to wander around the People's Choice Arts festival. I'm not sure what a Fire-Police truck is for, heavily armed firemen?
I also love the way American emergency vehicles have to have 911 written on the side so people know who to call.

Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.

A fire in North Point MTR station this morning. Fire trucks and police vehicles crammed the side of King's Road. I took this fleeting shot from the top of the bus I was on as we drove past.
At 9 P.M. September 11th a fire was reported in the mountains of Mijas. It grew quickly with the strong and changing winds this night. It is believed that this was set on fire because of multiple starting points on strategic spots where it was difficult to access. Aerial access was not possible until dawn because these units only work in daylight. The fire was controlled within 24 hours. No human life was lost. The Mijas area has a lot of urbanizations built in the later years, but now it won't be possible to build more for another 30-50 years because of the constitution stating that nothing can be built on such sites before they are back to normal.
Braai fire in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
Braai meaning Barbecue in Afrikaans, a language spoken in South Africa which is derived from Dutch.
They aren't accustomed to the word Barbecue and instead employ the word Braai even in English.

Went Wheelin with some friends last saturday. We had a great time. We went up to the high lakes above Paradise. We left at about 9 at night and got back at 6 the next morning. The snow drifts were about 4-6' deep. Just get on top and hammer down!! Had to winch out a couple of times, but that's what makes it fun. Got to a clearing and built a fire. Looked pretty cool so I grabbed the camera.
Odd place to have a fire alarm. Just a few feet inside the store sits this wooden post with a fire alarm mounted on it. Not sure if its required by local fire code or what? None of the other stores nearby seemed to have one located so close to the entrance.
Firefighters from Ravenna Twp. , Rootstown, and Randolph along with others fight a large building fire early Saturday morning around 1:00 AM. The large building owned by Kevin and Dawnette Caulbourne of 4575 Hayes Rd. in Ravenna Twp. held over $40,000 worth of remote control cars and parts along with a 130 ft. remote control car track. About 50 area residents raced their small remote control cars on the indoor track that is in this building every weekend. The building and most everything in it is a total loss. It took firefighters a few hours to get the fire under control due to the cold and lack of fire hydrants in the area. Water to fight the fire came from tanker trucks from several area towns. 12-22-01 **The building is also worth several thousand dollars** The Coulbourne's can be reached at 296-1175
