LOLman789789 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Things are looking up for the Kingdom of Horensia. With a balanced budget and economic prosperity, many citizens are now enjoying themselves for the first time in years. In Arrasfield, the city's fire department will begin a recruitment week starting on Sunday with a demonstration by the city's firefighters. Arrasfield is unique in that even though paid firefighters do exist, the backbone of the fire service is composed of dedicated volunteers who provide these services for free of charge. Stop by one of the following fire companies and see what it's like to be a volunteer! Robbins Hose Company, founded in 1808 and composed of 62 volunteer and 18 paid firefighters. We operate out of 2 stations with 3 engines, 2 ladder trucks, 1 heavy rescue, and 4 ambulances. Union Fire Company, founded in 1831 and composed of 55 volunteer and 9 paid firefighters. We operate out of 1 station with 2 engines, 1 ladder truck, 1 heavy rescue, 2 ambulances, a traffic control unit, and a rehab unit. We respond to all working fires in the city to provide rehabilitation services. Treptow Hose, Hook, and Ladder Company, founded in 1849 and composed of 102 volunteer and 30 paid firefighters. We operate out of 4 stations with 6 engines, 2 ladder trucks, 2 heavy rescues, 4 ambulances, 2 brush trucks, and 2 traffic control units. Marzahn Steam Engine Company, founded in 1877 and composed of 38 volunteer and 6 paid firefighters. We operate out of 1 station with 3 engines including an engine-rescue, 1 ladder truck, and 2 ambulances. Kreuzberg Fire Company, founded in 1885 and composed of 44 volunteer and 9 paid firefighters. We operate out of 1 station with 2 engines, 2 water tankers, 1 brush truck, and 1 ambulance. Steglitz Hose Company, founded in 1901 and composed of 36 volunteer and 6 paid firefighters. We operate out of 1 station with 3 engines including an engine-tanker, 1 heavy rescue, 1 traffic control unit, and 1 ambulance. Christiana Fire Company, founded in 1917 and composed of 84 volunteer and 36 paid firefighters. We operate out of 2 stations with 3 engines, 1 ladder truck, 1 heavy rescue, 4 ambulances, 3 airport crash trucks, and 1 foam tanker. We also protect Arrasfield International Airport. Wilhelm Miller Hose Company, founded in 1933 and composed of 37 volunteer and 6 paid firefighters. We operate out of 1 station with 2 engines, 1 water tanker, 1 brush truck, and 2 ambulances. Here are some images of Arrasfield firefighters in action: Firefighters from Treptow HHLC4 donning air masks to fight a 1-alarm fire at Box 566 on 25.4.2015. Treptow is the last company in the city to wear the old three-quarter boots and long coats. Their paid firefighters wear city-issued bunker gear with pants. Another image of the fire at Box 566. The man on the roof is Treptow's Assistant Chief, Leo Luxenberg, a 32-year veteran of the volunteer fire service. He also works as a paid firefighter stationed at Christiana Fire Company's airport fire station. 2 firefighters from Steglitz HC6 fight a fire at Box 2434 on 15.3.2015. Steglitz is located in a suburban area of the city that has only recently begun to see large-scale development. Thus, hydrants can be scarce at times, requiring that water tankers be brought in to supply water to the firefighters. Treptow firefighters attempt a futile attack on a fully-involved wooden-frame structure at a 3-alarm fire at Box 517 on 23.2.2015. Treptow, Marzahn, and Union all responded to this fire in full force, which also destroyed a neighbouring building. Robbins HC1 firefighters investigate a 6-car accident involving extrication at Box 177. This crash injured 12 people. Fortunately, no one was fatally injured in this crash, which took place on 9.4.2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
