Read and learn about fire safety.

Since my family and I came to live in Madrid, we have attended several events focused on educating the general public about fires and the work of firefighters.

We have been to the local firehouse in our neighborhood, where the firefighters provided access to their engines, simulated extinguishing a fire with a jet of water, shared useful tips, and gave out informative books. My children’s school also regularly has visits from fire brigade teams who inform and educate the students.

Before we moved, I did not attach importance to preventive information and precautions. But fires happen, fires are a fact, and it helps to take such incidents seriously. Using gas heaters is extremely dangerous, for example, so implementing safety measures is essential.

We now have so much information about what we should do; books are never superfluous! And I reach for them again to know more. Truly invaluable information — giving away free books on fire safety really intrigues and pleases me.
