Open house Fire Department Tilburg

On Sunday 7 October 2007, the fire department of Tilburg opened its doors for visitors. On that day a record number of visitors visited the fire department. During the day more than 10,000 people visited different stands.

One of those stands belonged to the firefighters without borders foundation.

The stand was manned by Alfred, Thorsten and Fokke Kooistra, who is a friend of the foundation and gave a demonstration fire breathing in order to draw attention to our foundation.

As soon as the parents and children were close to our score, Thorsten ensured that they continued stand.

He did this with ballon art and in the meantime Alfred had enough time to tell the parents something about the foundation.
