Re: Help with Medal Bar
Second is 'DSB' DeutchesSportBund - physical training related, I think.
Not too familiar with Bundeswehr stuff, but the fire medal should
be for same requirements as it's Third Reich counterpart.
Don't know the third one, unfortunately. The last is for the
'DRLG' with a life saving award badge on it..........

Awarded in two classes, basically it was for Merit or Long Service in the Fire Brigade.

Re: Help with Medal Bar
This ribbon bar was worn by a firefighter, with all of the ribbons of a civilian nature.
From left to right, they are for:
One of the various
Feuerwehr-Ehrenzeichen [Fire Service Decorations] or
Brandschutz-Ehrenzeichen [Fire Protection Decorations] as awarded by the German states, gold grade.
Every
Bundesland [Federal State] has its own firefighting-related decorations and these ribbon colors are common to several of them. Sorry, I can't tell from the device from which state this one is, as this is not my area of expertise; but here are some typical examples from various states:
www.feuerwehr-ehrenzeichen.de / BRD 30801
www.feuerwehr-ehrenzeichen.de / BRD 30101
www.feuerwehr-ehrenzeichen.de / BRD 31001
Deutsches Sportabzeichen [German Sports Badge] (or, for short, DSA), gold grade. This one has the "DSB" (
Deutscher Sportbund [German Sports League]) cyphers as used until 2006. (The current version has "DOSB".)
See:
Das Deutsche Sportabzeichen (alter Art) | Ordensmuseum.de
Deutsches Feuerwehr-Ehrenkreuz [German Fire Services' Cross of Honor], silver or gold grade. (I can't quite tell the color of the metal device and the metallic stripes in the ribbon from the photograph.) This is the second pattern, used from 1974 onwards.
See:
Das Deutsche Feuerwehr-Ehrenkreuz | Ordensmuseum.de
www.feuerwehr-ehrenzeichen.de / BRD 30002
Deutsches Rettungssschwimmer-Abzeichen der DLRG [German Lifeguard Badge of the German Lifesaving Organization] (or, for short, DRSA). (Again, I can't quite tell the grade from the photograph; they come in bronze, silver and gold.

Re: Help with Medal Bar
Excellent work...appreciate your help HPL. A little disappointed its not a military bar but it was not expensive and looks good on display.
