Hello from Berlin - Germany

[MACK Fan]

Hello,

my name is Dirk and I live in Berlin - Germany. I found this forum by searching in the web and I see here a lot of interessant themes. I look for any information about Engines, Ladders or Rescues from South Carolina, St. Luise and the FDNY. It is very hard to get any information about new fireapparatus here in Germany, so I hope I found here something about this. My hobbies are to collect models from Code 3, the kitbash from German and US Firetrucks in H0 - Scale and anything around Fire Departments in the USA. If you have any questions about me, please ask me!

Greats
Dirk

Welcome Dirk! This is a great site. A little bit of everything here. Your translation is not bad considering I do not speak any German.

Over time look back at some of the older posts. Kilos of information and photos here.

Have you heard of the Visiting Fireman book?
