Fire department officials, VdF-NRW, distribute fire safety tools to local firefighters.
Provinzial, a company with a long-standing tradition of supporting fire safety education, has partnered with the Association of Fire Brigades in NRW to provide fire safety kits for use in fire safety education. These kits, developed by the Association, are especially designed for seniors.
The Association of Fire Brigades in NRW e.V. has emphasized the importance of intensifying fire safety education for seniors, given that as people age, they may react more slowly, have poorer vision and hearing, and may not perceive daily dangers as easily. The kitchen, being the room with the highest fire risk in the home, especially for elderly people, is a particular concern. This is exacerbated by dementia and mental health issues, and the use of multiple medications that can impair reaction time and perception.
The fire safety kits, suitable for all ages, serve as an important demonstration tool for adult fire safety education. Each kit contains a robust trolley filled with information and demonstration materials. These include a sign set with fire safety and rescue symbols, smoke and CO2 detectors, fire extinguisher spray, an emergency kit, and other essential items. The emergency kit allows seniors to store vital information for emergency services.
The head of the fire school in Wuppertal who coordinates Fire Safety Education and Awareness for seniors is not explicitly named in the provided search results. However, Maria Koch, a representative from the Association of Fire Brigades in NRW e.V., can be contacted at [email protected] for inquiries regarding the fire safety education materials.
Christoph Dohr, head of the main department for damage prevention and risk assessment at Provinzial, emphasizes the importance of partnership with fire brigades to raise awareness of potential risks in daily life. The Association of Fire Brigades in NRW e.V.'s website is http://www.vdf.nrw for more information.
Recently, news aktuell reported on these new fire safety education materials, originally created by the Association of Fire Brigades in NRW e. V. The Association has developed fifteen fire safety kits, which are now available for use by fire brigades across the region.
The Association of Fire Brigades in NRW e.V. can be reached at Windhukstraße 8042277 Wuppertal. The materials in the fire safety kit are crucial in ensuring that seniors are equipped with the knowledge needed to stay safe in potentially dangerous situations.
