Come to Barfüsserplatz on this day to learn about Basel's “Blaulichtdienste” (blue-light services) and meet the professionals of the cantonal police, fire department, ambulance services, and civil defense service. They will demonstrate their work and show off some of their vehicles. There will also be live demonstrations of rescue missions—the exact time is not yet known, as the missions will be live and, just like in real life, unannounced. Experience and be a part of the rescue chain! Also, lock tests will stop bike thieves from standing a chance. The non-stop program will include #run2flash (fast enough for the radar flash?); the criminal investigation department at the crime scene; information on the meaning of “correctional system”; how traffic cadets ensure order in traffic; and a police bouncy castle for the little ones. Concerts by the music corps of the police (11:00) and fire department (13:00) will complement the program.
This event is free; just show up, no registration required.
