We only heard the humming of an engine, and when we looked out of the window there were 5 fire brigade trucks in our street.
What happened at the first floor of the 1930s building opposite? Maybe a short-circuit on a Christmas tree? The firemen were throwing carpets out of the balcony. Or maybe it was those crackers we heard during the afternoon (new year’s eve small-scale fireworks start at 4pm and end at 6am in Berlin…) jumping back in the living room?
Everything is being taken care smoothly, no sirens and no mess. We almost feel ashamed to have looked out of the window…let’s hope that nothing serious happened and that ambulances are just for bringing those unlucky neighbors to a hospital check.
The last post of 2010 is thus dedicated to the Berliner Feuerwehr, who had a very intense December in Berlin fighting against ice, snow and fire. Let’s hope that tonight will be fine.
