Christmas.
They are brightly lit nights of candles -
happy faces, complete children salvation.
Gone are all the sorrow, all the pain -
it counts only the joyous time.
May the Christmas season help us to go through life more relaxed -
not only perceive what is bothersome.
May we see the beautiful things again significantly
and confine ourselves to that which is really important.

All, whom we were connected in the past year -
we wish in this way, a merry Christmas
and a healthy, happy new year 2016.

What is C-Thru?

C-Thru is a Smoke Diving Helmet designed for the firefighters to aid them through their smoke diving search and rescue missions. Since it is almost impossible to see within the highly dense smoke, The smoke divers have to crawl on the ground and find their way by keeping hand contact with the walls while carrying heavy air supports and hand held equipments. At the same time they need to keep checking the thermal imaging device and need to keep hold on to one another's air tank handle in order not to lose each other. They also have less than six minutes to rescue all the victims within the building before the smoke kills them. C-thru provides a wireframe vision of the interior geometry surrounding the smoke diver, and enhances the surrounding sounds selectively, thus letting the smoke divers search for the victims more accurately. It simplifies many separate layers of heat and impact protection into a single package. which stabilizes and eases the movements.

C-Thru is currently in development.
If you are interested in this product, no matter if you are a customer or Manufacturer, then please contact me.

Der Feuerwehrhelm could support the production of an international promotional film for the company Iveco Magirus with the titel "Iveco Magirus Serving Heroes" and a image composition for the current competition brief of the Conrad Dietrich Magirus Award 2012 in Germany.

"See it"

 

(sorry, only in german:)
Feuerwehren leisten unverzichtbare Dienste für die Gesellschaft. Sie bekämpfen Brände, bergen Unfallopfer, retten Leben und helfen schnell und unbürokratisch in den unterschiedlichsten Notsituationen. Und das oftmals unter Einsatz der eigenen Gesundheit. Dennoch stehen die rund 1,3 Mio. aktiven Feuerwehrleute, von denen mehr als eine Million ehrenamtlich in der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr tätig sind, in Deutschland kaum einmal im Blickpunkt.

Das soll sich nun ändern: Gemeinsam mit dem Feuerwehr-Magazin, Europas führender Fachzeitschrift für Feuerwehren, sucht IVECO MAGIRUS das Feuerwehrteam des Jahres. Der Wettbewerb um den Conrad Dietrich Magirus Preis, der 2012 erstmals ausgeschrieben wird, soll ein Schlaglicht werfen auf die besonderen Leistungen, die Feuerwehrteams Tag für Tag im Dienste der Allgemeinheit erbringen. Mit dieser Auszeichnung soll die exzellente Planung und Ausführung der oftmals hoch komplexen und nicht ungefährlichen Feuerwehreinsätze honoriert werden. Bewertet wird die Leistung als Feuerwehrteam, unabhängig von der verwendeten Ausrüstung.

Bewerben können sich alle 25.000 Feuerwehren Deutschlands, unabhängig davon, ob es sich um Freiwillige Feuerwehren, Berufs-, Betriebs- oder Werkfeuerwehren handelt. Auch Privatpersonen oder Beteiligte können Empfehlungen abgeben oder Vorschläge machen. Zur Teilnahme einzureichen ist lediglich ein kurzer Einsatzbericht mit den wichtigsten Detailinformationen zu Ablauf, Taktik und Erfolg der Aktion. Die Einsendungen werden dann von einer hochkarätig besetzten Fachjury aus Feuerwehrkommandanten, Leitern von Feuerwehrschulen und anderen Experten ausgewertet und beurteilt.

Anhand der eingereichten Unterlagen bestimmen die Fachleute der Jury die Finalisten aus den unterschiedlichen Kategorien. Aus diesen Finalisten wird dann im Rahmen einer Online-Abstimmung das Feuerwehrteam des Jahres ermittelt. Es erhält neben dem Conrad Dietrich Magirus Preis eine Anerkennung der besonderen Art: Auf das Siegerteam wartet eine Wochenendreise nach New York mit einem Besuch der wohl bekanntesten Feuerwehr der Welt, dem Fire Department New York (FDNY).

Ziel des Wettbewerbs ist es, die Arbeit der Feuerwehr zu honorieren.

Die Teilnahmefrist für den Conrad Dietrich Magirus Preis beginnt am 27. Juli und endet am 15. Oktober 2012. Teilnahmeformulare und Detailinformationen sind im Internet unter www.feuerwehrwelt.de erhältlich. Teilnahmeberechtigt sind grundsätzlich nur Feuerwehren aus Deutschland mit Einsätzen aus den letzten 12 Monaten. Auch Privatpersonen oder Betroffene, die sich für einen Einsatz ihrer örtlichen Feuerwehr erkenntlich zeigen wollen, können sich an www.feuerwehrwelt.de wenden und Anregungen geben oder Vorschläge machen.

With construction of my web site I had hoped to be able to present a wide audience my collection.
I am online with the side now since August 2004 in the meantime and I can say for certain it has been worthwhile, my expectations have been realized!
The resonance of the visitors is overwhelming, astonishing the countries the side is accessed from and the number of the visitors increases from month to month.
I am not only pleased about the visitor's book entries but also over the many enquiries and information which were sent to me about the contact form.

Here a couple of facts on your visits:

Visitor since August 2004:
60337 visitors! (till August 2007)

Most access till now was carried out from the following countries:
Germany, Network (*.net), Switzerland, US Commercial, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland

Till now I could welcome visitor from the following alphabetically ordered countries at my side:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Indonesia, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand (Aotearoa), Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Switzerland, Singapore, Slovakian republic, Slovenia, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, USA, Yugoslavia,
(50 countries)

As announced already, the immense number of foreign visitors was the reason at long last to offer this side in English completely.
Some hard months work are behind us now and the effort has been worthwhile.
I would like to thank Andreas Berger quite cordially in this place.
The rearrangement wouldn't have been conceivable without him.
Andy, thank you for your work!

Of course I also have collected some helmets in the meantime, which weren't shown on the old side any more.
With the new layout almost 70 new helmets can be seen now.
 

Dear visitor,

it is finally ready!

What has begun as an idea, has now taken a concrete form.

I am pleased to present you today my web site in the new form.
It is also an essential innovation besides the layout that all texts are available in English.
I would like to give attention to the many many nations, this one every month pay me a visit and I hope, that I can reach still more people with the English-speaking side in the whole world.

I wouldn't have thought at the beginning of the redesign that this plan was so extensive.
Already alone the translation of the texts had taken a time of over 3 months.
By the new layout all available helmets must ordered newly and connected.
Without the outstanding help of my web designer Andreas Berger, the project would already have died in the child's shoes.
For the untiring help, in this place, You Andy, once again my many thanks.

Of course every lot of helmets also has been added to the collection since the last update, to which you have access now.

Unfortunately, there is no progress on the part of the manufacturers yet, and I can produce nothing new in this area so.
Perhaps further companies would liked to present himself now on mysite.
I would be pleased about the expansion and support by these companies.

A lot of fun leafing through the sides and discovering the most different helmets, forms, types and epochs.

Recommend me.
