A informative, professional and comprehensive firefighting documentary. The detail and vast coverage of the many aspects of firefighting and rescue is commendable. Former firefighter - USA
Really interesting to see the contrast and differences in the German firefighter training and technology vs the USA Firefighters. As an American firefighter this is gonna give me an existential crisis lol
Respect to you if you're still saving lives even without the specialized equipment. What sort of equipment do they give you there? Do you have the air tanks, the protective clothing, or any of that?
Watching this video has given me so much more respect and gratitude to firefighters. You really risk your life's for fighting every fire no matter how small or large. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your unselfish dedication. God was Watching over you all that day.
Only 10 taken out of 800 applying. Those 10 are the best around! Kudos to ALL who try, that is very intense training and rightfully so, for intense rescues. Thanks for most excellent upload. Learned everything about first🔥responders. Clothes, equipment, training!!!! Takes a lot of people to build a most excellent 🔥responder!! Be 💪trong! Very impressive 👍
The exercise they carried out from 1:15:17 is just a different level of difficulty 😭😭 pressured for time, working with just your hands and searching for a child blindfolded is all the ingredient you need to loose your mind
Too bad that this Video is called "German Fire Brigade" - while it shows only Berlin's professional firefighters. Professional firefigthers are only to be found in big cities above 100.000 inhabitants and they are the minority in Germany. 95% of all firefighters are volunteer firefighters who do exactly the same Job (besides paramedic services) alongside to their normal Job. In numbers: we have a total of 23700 fire departments with 31100 fire-stations. Only 107 fire departments are operated by professional firefighters. Volunteer firefighters are of course not sitting in the firestation, waiting there to be called - usually they have a pager and as soon as it beeps, they leave whatever they were doing (job, dinner, sleep) rush to the firestation, change clothes, jump on a fire-truck and head to the incident. Since on the other side nearly every village has a firestation, the volunteers are able to meet the requested timings and arrive most often on the scene within 10 minutes (partly 15min on countryside) as well. Since it is not predictable who will be available in case of an Alarm, usually they have to be very flexible regarding the tasks they will have to do - one day you drive the truck - the next time, you will have to enter the building in flames or cut someone out of the wreckage of a car. This system is working very well, requires lots of equipment (altogether 80.000 vehicles - including 50.0000 firetrucks and 2500 ladders) and Buildings, but saves huge amounts of money on staff - compared to professional firefighters. An advantage is, that in case of catastrophes, you can mobilize maybe around 600.000 of our 1.1 Mio trained firefighters. But the system faces growing problems as well: The number of young people who decide to join a firebrigade and do all the necessary trainings is declining - increasing mobility, unpopularity of long-term-commitments, lower number of people in manual jobs, less identification with the home-area and concentration of jobs in the bigger cities are some of the driving factors here. Besides this, the growing complexity of the firebrigade's tasks (e-mobility, environmental issues etc.) requires more intensive training / more investment of time. That's too much for part of our volunteers. But you can find well trained and equipped firefighters even in small communities of less than 5000 inhabitants. That's impressive - and represents the majority of German firefighters, who are not paid for saving lives in the middle of the night.
@@RongoelAs usual, the federal system combined with some old habits / privileges makes things more complex than you can illustrate in such a post. In many states (like Hesse) the local Fireprotection laws say that above 100.000 people it is mandatory to have professional firefighters, but Gießen as an example with 90000 inhabitants decided 1914 to establish professional firefighters alongside to the volunteers that have been there since 1855. Right now they have around 70 Professionals (1 fire-station) and 200 volunteers (6 fire-stations).
Thats not true. I was in a volunteer fire department of a city with roughly 30.000 people for almost 10 years and we were as professional as any full time fire department like in Berlin, Hamburg or any big city. We have the same equipment, the same training, and we do the same job. The only difference is that we were volunteer firefighters.
@@Doc_Rainbow Es gibt 109 deutsche Städte, die eine Berufsfeuerwehr unterhalten. 2021 werden es 110, mit der Stadt Hanau. Wenn du jede Wache zählst kommst du natürlich auf einen viel höheren Wert. Trotzdem sind es nur 109 Berufsfeuerwehren im Vergleich zu 22.853 Freiwilligen Feuerwehren und 752 Werksfeuerwehren (Zahlen sind Stand 2016) Als Beispiel in Bayern gibt es nur 7 Berufsfeuerwehren, Augsburg, Nürnberg, Fürth, Regensburg, Ingolstadt, Würzburg und München.
24:18 there's no way that crane weighs 630 tons. not sure what model this is, but the Liebherr LTM 1070 weighs just 48 tons and looks pretty similar in dimensions
I absolutely belive the 30 ton lift capacity and 38 m range is correct. But a 630 ton vehicle would be a behemoth and require at least a dozen more axles to not crush any street it goes on. I doubt you would even fit 63 tons into that frame. 48 tons sounds realistic, taking into account the counterweights they carry around. Edit: Somehow I just got the idea of checking the webseite of the Berlin Fire department after posting, as most fire departments have a list of their vehicles. It is a Liebherr LTM 1050-3.1 built in 2010 with a max weight of 36 tons.
Difference between Germany and America. The tree that toppled would be removed by a city maintenance crew. Fire crews deserve all the respect in the world! All they do is help people!! They are the best! I feel bad when I hear one has been injured or killed. Plus ... (TeeHee!) They are so fit and good looking! What's not to like, eh?
as long as the potentially falling tree poses an immediate hazard to public road and pedestrian traffic it's up to the FD to remove that hazard, at least in Germany
May God provide intellectual, physical and spiritual power and strength to the fire fighter department team-the fire fighter officers, vehicle maintenance group, call center team n overall team. May God empower and bless you all and ur family for the noble work of saving lives while risking one's life and forest fire safety through fire helicopters. Salute to every firefighter!! Amen!!
There is obviously a mistake at 3:29, a full set of equipment for one firefighter, including SCBA did not cost 200 Euros but rather more than 2500 Euros. For example a single high quality helmet with lights and extras costs around 450 Euros.
Just started watching, so maybe it is told later on... Only in Big Cities Fire Fighters is a full time job. In most Cities they are volunteer Fire Fighters. They work at another job, and when on duty will be called in to the station.
looks like germany takes good care of their fire depts. they all have up to date ppe & equipment is state of the art, training is extensive. compared to most russia fire depts HAHAHA...no no its actually kind of sad though.
Anyone else notice their firefighting helmets look an awful lot like Stahlhelms? Or is it just me lol. Respect to all firefighters throughout the world!
The german model of the firefighting helmet is developed from the classic stahlhelm and for some while, german firefighters used stahelm copies fitted with face covers and neck guards.
Huge big up for this ! I am firefighter from Slovakia and I can only dream about this practice facilities and equipment !!! But why they have so ugly helmets? :D everything is awesome but helmets are really ugly :D
Because the fire department in Germany gets payed by the state government (like the police) and not by the federal government, the equipment quality can vary from state to state sometimes. In 1:32:00 you can see the Munich firefighter in red with different gear then the Berlin fire fighter. Berlin is a big city state, so I guess they have way more money for the fire department, compared to a state like Bavaria, who has to cover not just big city’s like Munich but also the country side. They have to spread out the fire stations, to ensure that the fire truck can get to the remotest place in 10 minutes. The budget for those departments also get handled by the political party in office in that state, so not every firefighter in Germany looks like those elites from Berlin xD Just saying.
Yes, the Crane has a weight of around 63 metric tons. They translated it wrong. Berlin has around 3.76 million residents and 1300 alerts a day doesn't sound that wrong to me.
The crane is 36 metric tons. It's a Liebherr ltm1050-3.1, max roadweight 36t, max lifting 50t, but reduced to 30t due to its ballast configuration. 60t would never be allowed on 3 axles in Germany.
Haha yea thats a mistake of translation. The German term for resuscitation is "Reanimation", people often assume it would be the same in english as the word "Animation" translate to english as animation
I would think crain drivers would benefit from playing the 'victim' in that rescue exercise, they are a likely client. It would show them what to expect. Brave people, the lot of them, although I hope never to meet them in a professional capacity.
I Have Worked in front line rescue for over 20 years seen many come and go But some of Us the job is in the blood once that is the case then you in for life.
@@EnjoyFirefighting when you open and close nozzle to quickly it can cause fractures in fire apparatus and or if you do it hooked up to your hydrant the city water pipes
@@daveb1372 Why not? In this case and way it is absolutely fine, as most fire fighter Helmets here in Germany are actually a design based on the Stahlhelm, as the others mentioned before. Many Germans react kind of annoyed to certain World War comparisons, but it is also a fact, that a lot of designs still used today originated in that area. The old Bundeswehr Stahlhelm directly based on the WWII model was only replaced by one made from compound material some years ago, as until then functionally it was a perfectly good design. The Wachbatallion (those soldiers doing mostly ceremonial duties) still uses the old helmets. It is a fact, so it is ok to say. In fact fire brigades after WWII used a lot of surplus military equipment for vehicles among other things. also helmets. And looking back in fire fighter uniforms from pre war times, they always resembled police, or in more general military uniforms and the helmet in some places was hte old Pickelhaube. I think many countries have quite unique and somewhat traditional helmet designs in use. Look at the US helmets. They look absolutely great, but beeing made from leather I always wonder if those are not heavy and unwieldy compared to other designs. Or the french helmet, which looks like the old Adrian Helmet worn by Soldiers in WWI. Some older helmets in Austria looked like a modified Stahlhelm, guess why?. They added a ridge or a "Spider" on top of the helmet, that was intended to break and divert material falling onto the helmet.
Um 37.05 minut zerbrechen sie das Glas der Autoscheibe. Warum wird dort kein Klebeband angebracht, um das lose Glas zu verhindern? At 37:05 minute mark they break the glass of the car window. Why don't they put tape there to prevent all the loose glass?
It all depends on the damage of the car. And position. The roof is taken off only if the car is totaled. Or if it is easier to access. They don't always take the roof off
it depends. In another (better) documentary it is explained better. You can only open the door, you can open the door and fold the door behind down, you can take both doors out (and the connecting structure), you can fold the roof backwards and you can take the roof entirely off. It all depends on how is the patient and what the doctor sais. It gets more time consuming the more you do, but it gets more and more patient-friendly the more you take off.
This is the basic training for career firefighters, not volunteers. We don't do a Truppmann 1, we do our training according to career training regulations. But we don't jump right to scba training, we train from the ground up. But the career FFs training is longer and more extensive than the training for volunteers.
Do narrators just spout out random numbers? The lifting straps when they were picking that tree were rated for 5 tons according to the narrator. That tree weighs more than 5 tons. I think he meant 50 tons.
Some Have... some Dont. They are a very controvertal Toll at least here in Germany. If the Fierfighter goes into a smoked room searching for someone the use the Wodden Stock of the Axe to peak into the middle of the room, into corners etc. The Halligen Tool is complat made of Steal and got shardp Edges everywhere so its a bit dangeros to use it the traditional Way. On the other Hand Thermal Immagin Cams get cheaper and cheaper so many Fire Departmans argure that its not required to usw the Wooden Handle for searching.
@@azul8811 I Know.... but im Germany the traditional Axe is used as a Search and Enetry tool so the Halligan is not an good tool to replace both usages.
Nonameguzzi The Halligan was intended to be carried along with a flat head axe. In the FDNY the person who carries this combination is known as the "Irons Man". He operates with a partner who carries a 6 foot hook and a 2.5 gallon pressurized water extinguisher or "can". This person is known as the "Can Man." Together they comprise the Forcible Entry Team. They operate under the direct supervision of their Company Officer. After forcing entry, this team conducts a search for victims, and for fire when its location is not obvious. Not every firefighting unit operates this way, only the Ladder Truck Companies, the Squad Companies and the Heavy Rescue Companies...not the Engine Companies.
I think most fire brigades and volunteer firebrigades are having halligen tools. At least I know it from the City of Bochum and Berlin-(district)Neukölln
Insane they carry 2 air tanks on their SCBA instead of 1 like in America. That is twice the time they can work on air and if god forbid a mayday they have an extra bottle of time for rescue.

Because the fire department in Germany gets payed by the state government (like the police) and not by the federal government, the equipment quality can vary from state to state sometimes.

The budget for those departments also get handled by the political party in office in that state, so not every firefighter in Germany looks like those elites from Berlin xD Just saying.
that doesn't depend on the state but on the specific municipality. Fire departments are primarily a municipal task!
Note to the translators: instead of “reanimation” you should use “resuscitation”. It took me a few moments to understand what they meant.
am i the only one that thinks some of the numbers don't fit? crane with 600 tons, 1300 alerts a day in berlin ?
Yes, the Crane has a weight of around 63 metric tons. They translated it wrong. Berlin has around 3.76 million residents and 1300 alerts a day doesn't sound that wrong to me.
1300 alerts a day is just a normal day here in Berlin. Dont ask for the new year night.
1300 with Medical Calls is normal for a big city
1300 calls is totally normal for a city like Berlin. The crane was probably a translation error.
The crane is 36 metric tons. It's a Liebherr ltm1050-3.1, max roadweight 36t, max lifting 50t, but reduced to 30t due to its ballast configuration. 60t would never be allowed on 3 axles in Germany.
Interesting
wait...the special fire crane @ 24:11 weighs 630 TONS? I would believe 63 tons..but 630???
Is no one going to talk about the fact that they have there own crane? We can’t even get new pacs.
They don't have 'only' one crane, but three (!) cranes in the fleet. Two of them are in service and one is kept as reserve
Re-animating. That's a new one.
Haha yea thats a mistake of translation. The German term for resuscitation is "Reanimation", people often assume it would be the same in english as the word "Animation" translate to english as animation
Maybe next time do it in Garman

German military helmets from WW2 are based on medieval city watch helmets , a hold over from knights armor

And looking back in fire fighter uniforms from pre war times, they always resembled police, or in more general military uniforms and the helmet in some places was hte old Pickelhaube.
I think many countries have quite unique and somewhat traditional helmet designs in use. Look at the US helmets. They look absolutely great, but beeing made from leather I always wonder if those are not heavy and unwieldy compared to other designs. Or the french helmet, which looks like the old Adrian Helmet worn by Soldiers in WWI.
Some older helmets in Austria looked like a modified Stahlhelm, guess why?. They added a ridge or a "Spider" on top of the helmet, that was intended to break and divert material falling onto the helmet.
The Berlin fire Service become new helmets in the next year. The same helmets as the London fire brigarde.
Um 37.05 minut zerbrechen sie das Glas der Autoscheibe. Warum wird dort kein Klebeband angebracht, um das lose Glas zu verhindern?
At 37:05 minute mark they break the glass of the car window. Why don't they put tape there to prevent all the loose glass?
So many good looking German men... T_T
I’m a guy and for some reason I’m attracted to them
@@BillyBob-vp9hz some of them look very healthy, and competent at their professions. That's attractive to everyone.
wow!
24:19 WHAT? nope. that's not possible lmao
was thinking the same lol a main battle tank weights about 70 tons and I doubt that this crane is about ten times heavier than a MBT ^^
@@FighterofGD metric tons
Some off the it is slightly different then UK in UK there take the roof off
It all depends on the damage of the car. And position. The roof is taken off only if the car is totaled. Or if it is easier to access. They don't always take the roof off
it depends. In another (better) documentary it is explained better.
You can only open the door, you can open the door and fold the door behind down, you can take both doors out (and the connecting structure), you can fold the roof backwards and you can take the roof entirely off.
It all depends on how is the patient and what the doctor sais.
It gets more time consuming the more you do, but it gets more and more patient-friendly the more you take off.
Когда уже у нас так будет?)
I wish someone gives me a fire fighting gear im a fire volunteer in philippines
What type of equipment do they provide you there? Btw, there was a mistake in this video, the cost of this is not 200€ but much more
This definetly skipped the Truppmann 1 training. jumping straight to PA (breathing protection) is... weird
This is the basic training for career firefighters, not volunteers. We don't do a Truppmann 1, we do our training according to career training regulations. But we don't jump right to scba training, we train from the ground up. But the career FFs training is longer and more extensive than the training for volunteers.
Do narrators just spout out random numbers? The lifting straps when they were picking that tree were rated for 5 tons according to the narrator. That tree weighs more than 5 tons. I think he meant 50 tons.
15:53 if it was the uk it would of taken a couple of hours lol
Do they have a halligen tool on there trucks
Some Have... some Dont. They are a very controvertal Toll at least here in Germany.
If the Fierfighter goes into a smoked room searching for someone the use the Wodden Stock of the Axe to peak into the middle of the room, into corners etc. The Halligen Tool is complat made of Steal and got shardp Edges everywhere so its a bit dangeros to use it the traditional Way. On the other Hand Thermal Immagin Cams get cheaper and cheaper so many Fire Departmans argure that its not required to usw the Wooden Handle for searching.
Nonameguzzi The Halligan was designed as a forcible entry tool....not as a search tool.
@@azul8811 I Know.... but im Germany the traditional Axe is used as a Search and Enetry tool so the Halligan is not an good tool to replace both usages.
Nonameguzzi The Halligan was intended to be carried along with a flat head axe. In the FDNY the person who carries this combination is known as the "Irons Man". He operates with a partner who carries a 6 foot hook and a 2.5 gallon pressurized water extinguisher or "can". This person is known as the "Can Man." Together they comprise the Forcible Entry Team. They operate under the direct supervision of their Company Officer. After forcing entry, this team conducts a search for victims, and for fire when its location is not obvious. Not every firefighting unit operates this way, only the Ladder Truck Companies, the Squad Companies and the Heavy Rescue Companies...not the Engine Companies.
I think most fire brigades and volunteer firebrigades are having halligen tools.
At least I know it from the City of Bochum and Berlin-(district)Neukölln
26:00 that tree is of blocking the road
Reanimation = Resuscitation / Not Conscious Not Breathing
I just want a vehicle that has blinky lights.
Insane they carry 2 air tanks on their SCBA instead of 1 like in America. That is twice the time they can work on air and if god forbid a mayday they have an extra bottle of time for rescue.
the truck weighs 650 tons? sure?
“Reanimation”
He was only "mostly" dead
@@LegoTux lol
I know, that amused me also, re-animation, oh the fun of auto-transplant ! ( think about it!)
ZomBIES!!!11
"Reanimation" = resuscitation, I guess?
