    I can read “help,” “groups,” and “drive” in the word, but I don’t know the others.

      Hilfe – help
      Leistung – action (closest translation for this context)
      -s- to make it sound less awkward
      Lösch – root of the verb “extinguish”
      Gruppe – group
      -n- to make it sound less awkward (Gruppen being the plural, is incidental)
      fahr – root of the verb “drive” or “go” in the context of vehicles Zeug – basically “thing”; hence Fahrzeug = vehicle
