German-American

hi markus!
habe mal rumgehört, was andere dazu meinen. Insgesamt bekommt man Preis-Leistungsmäßig kaum einen besseren Handschuh als den Supermars. Für die Brandbekämpfung im Innenangriff sollte man aber darauh achten, dass keine Reflexstreifen auf dem Handrücken sind. Sie führten bei Übungen in Übungsbehältern Brandbekämpfung dazu, dass die hitze an der Stelle durchgeschlagen ist.

ich hoffe das hilft!
gruss,
rob

Wilkommen zu den Boards,

Survey wurde ausgefuellt. Schaut aus wie eine sehr gute Idee.

Ich hatte eine schnelle frage. Ich denke darueber einen ESKA Super-Mars Handschuh zu kaufen. Wollte mal schnell wissen ob Sie Erfahrung mit diesen Handschuh hast und was Ihre Meinung ueber den Handschuh ist.

Vielen Dank und viel Glueck.

I'm Irish, I'm Catholic and I'm a firefighter! You can't get any more "American" than that!

Never thought of Dan Marino, but I have gotten Hasselhoff and Patrick Swayze screwed up before.

[Catch22]

Speaking of German-Americans, does anyone else have trouble telling David Hasselhoff and Dan Marino apart???

I can tell you it wasnt all that long ago that my buddy was on an engine that most days was 100 % Irish. Those days are very rare anymore...If not gone.

My grandmother grew up with a man who rose to the rank of Division Marshal in the CFD. Whch today is akin to district chief. He was a German-Lutheran.

Hmmmmm, I though there was a by-law or something about letting NI's (non-Irish) get that high a rank. If not there should be!

[Catch22]

I need to do some checking, but my grandfather's family came from a country that hasn't existed since before WWI. If I remember right, it got absorbed into Austria or something like that.

We actually have a lot of German/Indian (including myself, 1/2 and 1/2) in this area.

My grandmother grew up with a man who rose to the rank of Division Marshal in the CFD. Whch today is akin to district chief. He was a German-Lutheran. In the good ol days, the churches were all based on ethnicity. In McKinley Park, where my Dad is from they had the Irish-Catholic, Polish-Catholic, German-Catholic and the German-Lutheran church within blocks of one another. In Chicago, some common ethnic mixes are German-Irish, Polish-Mexican, Irish-Italian, Irish-Mexican to name a few. I am a classic Chicago "mix"...But not a drop of Irish.
