Feueralarm - Alarmierung der freiwilligen Feuerwehr Jelmstorf -
Seedorf Alarmmeldung Zimmerbrand = Fire alarm - Alerting the volunteer
fire department Jelmstorf - Seedorf Alarm report room fire

What actually happens when the siren wails 3 times? I once looked
beyond the agricultural and forestry horizon and was allowed to be
there with the camera during a training operation by the
Jelmstorf-Seedorf volunteer fire brigade, Bad Bevensen municipality,
Uelzen district. The local fire brigade consists mainly of volunteers.
The individual locations of a municipal fire brigade (city or
municipality) are referred to as local fire brigades.

all of these volunteers have their turnout gear at home - one person
had blue turnouts and orange turnouts at home also - maybe blue is
civil defense and orange is ambulance

they all have pagers also

lots of stuff in this video

6:04 radio traffic - 57 is responding and 15 is following - have 4 AGT
(?interior firefighters)

for some reason scba and water can were not kept on truck - maybe no
heat in the fire barn - its a small town and a ratty old fire station

use latex gloves to take off scba after firefighting

maybe no water on fire truck - they catch a hydrant - they have a
demountable pump - takes 4 people to move it

tiny truck but enough room for 2 guys to put on masks hoods helmets -
gear up enroute - don gear in truck - don gear enroute - put on gear
enroute - gear up on way to fire - put on equipment on way to fire -
put on PPE enroute

one woman firefighter - she drives the van
