DA supports fire brigade in fire safety education for children

Children memorise facts best when playing or drawing, which is exactly where the Cologne fire brigade comes in and distributes free, child-friendly colouring and workbooks for fire safety education in primary schools. The German Demolition Association considers fire prevention to be an important topic and is therefore supporting the Cologne Fire Brigade by purchasing such colouring and workbooks and “Kinderfinder” stickers. The stickers are attached to the children’s bedroom door and guide the emergency services to the youngest members of the family in an emergency. Specifically, children at OGS Langemaß No. 21 in Cologne-Mülheim were equipped with the colouring book.
Thanks to the support of many local companies, the workbooks can be distributed to the primary school children free of charge. A commitment that the DA was very happy to support.
Support for the safety of children
The memorable information, instructive tasks and well thought-out illustrations in the new fire safety book from the KIM publishing group in Detmold were developed in close collaboration with fire safety experts from fire brigades and educationalists. By working through the book at home or at school, children can demonstrably better understand and deepen the fire safety awareness and instructions for correct behaviour.
Additional digital content such as videos or learning success checks, which are available using the latest augmented reality (AR) technology and a free app, also make the colouring book and workbook a memorable experience.
Further information on the project can be found here: www.verlagsgruppe-kim.de.
