The main objective is to inform and raise public awareness on fire prevention and effective protection against fires.

Attendees of all ages had the opportunity to see fire trucks and related firefighting equipment up close, as well as to be informed from members of the Cyprus Fire Service on fire prevention and fire extinguishing techniques. Particular enjoyment was offered to the young attendees through rides with the two children’s fire trucks donated by ERB ASFALISTIKI to the Fire Service, as well as through various activities specially designed for them.

The event was held with the support of Live Link, while representatives of ERB ASFALISTIKI and the Cyprus Fire Service distributed symbolic gifts and informational material, reinforcing the message of fire safety.
