Request for assistance …

Dear Webmaster,

#chicagoareafire.com; #Germany; #firefighter; #ElmhurstFD; #JuergenSchlump;

Juergen Schlump from North-West Germany visiting the Elmhurst FD

I´m Juergen Schlump from North-West Germany and I had the fortune to visit the Elmhurst Fire Department in 2014. A dream for me as a volunteer firefighter becomes true due to that visit.

I was really impressed about the new station and the technic which the community provides for their firefighters.

Now I have a very unusual question and I hope that you can maybe answer them.

A good friend of mine, who is on duty as a professional friefighter in the professional fire station of the city Bochum, looks for a hospitation in the USA and ask me if I could help him.

He is a very smart men and his job until August 2023 was leading trainer of firefighter academy City Bochum, since then he´s deputy chief on station 2. In moment he´s on the way to get divorced and looks for a new level of firefighter education.

At 5:55min you can see him as the TOJ Lieutantant (trainer).

Maybe you can give me an advice how or who we can contact to get some advices so that his dream could become true.

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes from Wettrup / Germany

Juergen Schlump
