Fire safety education from an early age
When we have the opportunity to share our knowledge on fire safety – we always do. This time, at the invitation of the “Forest” Scout Troop of the Bydgoszcz – City District, we met with scouts at their camp held in Pólko near Koronowo.
Children listened with great interest to a talk on “How to behave when a fire breaks out in a house / apartment”. During it they also learned what to do if a fire finds them in a hotel or other building, and how important it is to raise awareness of such a danger.
The camp participants were presented with a home smoke detector manufactured by POLON-ALFA. This presentation made us realize that there are still few people who know how effectively such a small battery-operated device can warn of a fire at the first stage of its formation.
The scouts also had the opportunity to exchange their experiences related to fire protection. A lively discussion and countless questions confirmed the belief that such meetings are very much needed and important.
The scouts were also shown the film “Shut Up Before You Fall Asleep (It Costs Nothing!),” produced by a firefighter social initiative dedicated to fire safety in homes. The Olszyn firefighters launched the social action, which also involves POLON-ALFA, in an attractive and accessible form – in the form of a hip-hop song (the video can be found on the YouTube platform).
The meeting ended by emphasizing the role of each participant in taking care of fire safety and handing out commemorative reflective wristbands.
We would like to thank scouts very much for their invitation! Stay safe! POLON-ALFA S.A.
