    Voice Alarm response time

    Sometimes when you listen to the live audio you can hear the dispatcher announcing a box and 10 seconds later asking a few units if they're responding and these units answer immediately. How can this be? Are they so fast at getting on the rig? I would guess that a few units are 10-8 But...

    German Collectibles (Scale 1/87)

    After the german Real-Life-Pictures i'm proud to present you some of my miniature-apparatus. I know that they're hard to get in some countries (The USA ?) since most of them are produced in Germany and for that reason I thought it could be interesting for you to have a look at them. This...

    German Fire Apparatus (a brief extract)

    Paint "Artwork"
