Der diesjähriger Besuch des Los Angeles Fire Departents stand unter dem Motto „50 Jahre Städtepartnerschaft Berlin- LA“ . So besuchten erstmalig die Berliner Feuerwehr und die Polizei Berlin unsere Partnerstadt gemeinsam. Einige Termine konnten wir dann sogar gemeinsam wahrnehmen. Diese waren der Empfang durch den Deutschen Generalkonsul, dem Besuch im Ronald Reagan Presidential Library und dem LA Marathon. Aber natürlich traf ich auch viele gute Freunde wieder Isaac Burks, Tom LaBonge, Oti Liepack, Todd und Tina Leitz, Ronny Villanueva und viele mehr. Es war eine gelungene Reise.

This year's visit to the Los Angeles Fire Department was under the motto "50 Years of City Partnership Berlin-LA". For the first time, the Berlin Fire Department and the police in Berlin visited our partner city together. We could even meet some dates together. These were the reception by the German Consul General, the visit to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and the LA Marathon. But, of course, I also met many good friends again, Isaac Burks, Tom LaBonge, Oti Liepack, Todd and Tina Leitz, Ronny Villanueva and many more. It was a great trip.

Thanks to all friends, officers and departments which support our efforts, to learn from each other and support international understanding and friendship between our countries. Especialy to Tom LaBonge, Isaac Burks, Otfried Liepack and Ronnie Villanueva.
