Successful open day at Oosterheem fire department

Mayor Michel Bezuijen conducted the opening at noon. Stichting Historisch Brandweermaterieel was nicely displayed with old vehicles, which provided nice pictures. They also had a sales stall with which they can pay for their own existence. The Rescue Brigade was present with a booth where you could sit in a real rowboat. Rainbowparty's provided happy hair and painted children's faces. The ambulance had a stand in style where they showed all kinds of things about their profession. You could also learn CPR and have your blood oxygen level measured on the ambulance stretcher. Marcello's Cappuchino was serving good coffee and tea with his 3-wheeler and Noorlander had a real market stall with delicious poffertjes and oliebollen.

Of course, the fire department itself had also turned out. There was a smoke-escaperoom where you had to find your way out in thick smoke. The new aerial platform was on display, the operational vehicles were on display and during the afternoon there were demonstrations on how to deal with a fire in a pan, and technical assistance where a victim was freed from a car with large tools.
