Family Experience at the Fire Department: Wonder, Learn, Laugh Together

On Saturday, July 11, 2026, the Volunteer Fire Department Erlstätt invites its members along with partners and children to an internal family day. A place for shared time, children's laughter, and fun learning will be created at the fire department grounds – organized safely and supervised in a child-friendly manner.

What Families Can Expect: Touch, Try Out, Experience Firefighting Everyday Life

Children will discover age-appropriate vehicles and equipment, ask questions, and experience hands-on technology. Parents will gain insights into training, team spirit, and youth work. Sensory impressions such as blue light, radio sounds, and amazement at power and precision will enhance curiosity and a sense of community.

Educational Added Value: Learning Playfully, Acting Responsibly

The stations promote development and learning experiences: danger recognition is explained in a child-friendly way, team tasks train cooperation, and success experiences strengthen self-efficacy. These contents are based on proven concepts of the Bavarian fire departments and convey safety in everyday life.

Safety First: Clear Rules, Trained Supervision

Supervision by trained fire department members, secured practice areas, and first aid expertise ensure a relaxed, safe environment. Families will receive on-site information about protective clothing, accompanying children, and barrier-free access to the grounds.

Experience Community: Volunteering Connects Generations

From the youth to the experienced – here, solidarity grows. Joint activities, short demonstrations, and plenty of room for questions make the afternoon a warm, trusting family experience.

Voices of Parents

The reactions of parents are clear: the family day excites families. On Instagram, a mother writes: 'So close to real firefighting everyday life – our kids were thrilled.' On Facebook, a father reports: 'Explained in a child-friendly way and excellently organized – thanks to the department!'

Conclusion: An Afternoon Full of Wonder and Community

Families can expect tangible highlights, age-appropriate insights, and plenty of fun learning – safe, warm, and approachable. Save the date, wear comfortable clothing, and experience volunteering as strong family time live.
