Children's fire department

An exciting and educational program for children ages 6 to 10 who are passionate about the fire department and fire safety. 

The goal is to introduce children to the world of firefighting in a fun way while teaching them important values such as teamwork, a sense of responsibility, and a willingness to help others. The program aims to build their self-confidence and encourage them to develop their skills and talents.

In the children’s fire department, the little ones learn through play how to make an emergency call, how to behave in dangerous situations, and how to perform basic first aid. Through regular drills, the children gain practical experience and learn how to use fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and other safety equipment.

The experienced supervisors and instructors are specially trained to teach content tailored to the children’s needs. They are patient, empathetic, and motivate the kids to do their best. Safety always comes first. 

In addition to firefighting drills, there are regular outings, games, and events where the children can make new friends and experience adventures together. The community is characterized by solidarity and team spirit.

The children’s fire department not only offers meaningful leisure activities but also teaches children at an early age to take on responsibility and develop important social skills.


Youth fire department

The Youth Fire Department is the perfect place for young people between the ages of 10 and 16 who are looking for exciting challenges and teamwork.

Its mission is to introduce young people to the fascinating world of firefighting and offer them the opportunity to acquire important skills and knowledge in the field of fire safety. In addition to learning how to properly handle fire and fire extinguishing agents, the young people also learn a great deal about technology, first aid, and more.

The mentors and instructors are experienced firefighters who are eager to pass on their knowledge and passion to the next generation. They place great emphasis on teamwork, a sense of responsibility, and mutual support. Every young person is supported individually and can develop their skills and talents in various areas.

There are regular events, field trips, and competitions where the young people can demonstrate their skills. Whether through drills or competitions, these activities ensure that all participants can test their limits and surpass themselves.
