New Taipei Fire Department Holds Children's Summer Camp

The New Taipei City Fire Department's second brigade hosted a children's fire safety summer camp at Hengyi Middle School in Xinzhuang, drawing nearly 450 elementary school students. The event aimed to educate young participants on disaster prevention through engaging, game-based activities.

The camp featured four main themed zones: "Fire Movement Zero Distance," "Sharp Disaster Prevention Pass," "Hand in Hand to Protect Home," and "Hope New Vision." These stations integrated fire and disaster prevention knowledge into interactive challenges, helping children build basic firefighting and emergency response skills. A particularly memorable activity for the students involved practicing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using balloons and experiencing a simulated smoke-filled room to learn escape techniques.

Amidst preparations for Typhoon Bavi, the fire department emphasized the importance of disaster preparedness, urging students to share their newly acquired knowledge with their families. This "opportunity education" aims to ensure that disaster prevention concepts are applied in daily life, reinforcing the importance of early education in safety.

"The fire safety camp uses a fun and educational approach to help children establish correct disaster prevention concepts as they grow," said Zeng Tianrou, captain of the second brigade. "This allows disaster prevention knowledge to take root from a young age, enabling them to apply it at home for rescue, evacuation, and prevention, thereby reducing the impact of disasters."
