Fire brigade open day

The Bocholt fire brigade introduces itself

Bochol residents and interested visitors from the region and the neighbouring Netherlands can look forward to a varied programme for the whole family that will provide insights into the work and everyday life of the Bocholt fire brigade.

Which vehicles does the fire brigade use for its operations? How does a rescue at height work? What do you have to watch out for during a rescue operation? These questions will be answered during exciting demonstrations.
