Dear colleagues,

I am reaching out to you with a request to forward this message to the surrounding fire departments. Perhaps you could help us.

A year ago, firefighters from the Hamburg Fire Department – Germany ran the Chicago Marathon.

At the same time we visited some fire stations in Chicago because Hamburg and Chicago are Sister cities.

This year we are running the Chicago Marathon again but this year we are ten colleagues. We are still looking for accommodation between October 6th and 12th, 2023.

So, I would like inquire if you, your colleagues or families can provide private accommodations close to Chicago for this time.

All supporters are cordially invited to the great “Hamburg-Chicago” pasta party on the 7th of October.

For more details, please send an email to:

Thank you very much for your help and support.

Regards

Jürgen Schmidt

Deputy station commander
