How firefighters appeared
Fire truck games allow you to become virtual rescuers, but every self-respecting rescuer should know his story, so let's find out how the profession of firefighters was born.
A long time ago, fire became an excellent tool that often saved people from large predators, frosts and helped prepare more satisfying and healthy food. However, with the advent of the first joint settlements, people learned the full destructive power of fire. Since one house on fire could easily burn down an entire village settlement or even a large city. So the people of that time urgently needed to find a way out of the current situation in order to protect ancient settlements from the misfortunes of this destructive and all-encompassing element.

This is how the first fire brigades appeared. It is believed that first of all, namely a little more than 2000 years ago, they were formed on the territory of Ancient Rome, where ordinary slaves, who were poorly trained but, due to their large numbers, were able to extinguish or at least stop almost any fire, were used as firefighters. Fire brigades received more serious development in Europe; starting from the 18th century, the first hoses and fire nozzles appeared, powered by hand pumps and capable of spraying water at a considerable distance from the source of ignition.
Until the 18th century in Europe there was no single, grouped, rescue service and all teams worked alone, which was often the reason for the inability to stop a serious fire. But at the end of the 1800s, a coordination center was created that received all calls from residents of large cities and sent rescue teams to them. It was this time that can be considered the beginning of the modern fire service.
Today, fire brigades work in all countries of the world and monitor not only fires, but also save people’s lives by getting them out of mangled cars or removing cats from trees.

During the classes
Today we will talk to you about a very important and relevant topic for all of us. Guess the riddle:
“The red beast is sitting in the oven, the red beast is angry with everyone. He eats firewood out of anger for a whole hour, maybe two. Don’t touch it with your hand, it will bite your entire palm” (fire) What do you think will be discussed at our event today? During the event: We will get acquainted with the basics of fire safety, the causes of fires, learn to follow fire safety rules and act correctly in the event of a fire.
Main part
Leading.
Fire is a long-time friend of man. With its help, many useful things are accomplished. But sometimes it happens that fire turns from a faithful friend into a merciless enemy, destroying everything in its path. The power of fire is great. It takes millions of human lives, wipes out big cities and small villages from the face of the earth. Today, about five and a half million fires occur annually on our planet. Every 5 seconds there is a new fire. Enterprises and hospitals, trains and planes, forests, fields and houses are burning. The result is colossal losses. And most importantly, tens of thousands of human victims, including children.
3. Causes of fires
Guess the riddle: Oh, these little sisters are dangerous... (matches) _ Why are matches dangerous? Presenter 2. Don’t play, my friend, with a match. Remember, it’s small, But a small match can burn the house to the ground. Younger brothers and sisters and preschoolers are told: “Remember that matches are not a toy for children!”
4. Why is fire dangerous? -How dangerous is a fire? - Why might a fire occur? 5. Rules of conduct in case of fire What if a fire does occur? Firefighter's story: What are the rules of behavior in case of fire. ________________________________________________________________________________ will tell us about this
“If the fire is small, you can try to extinguish it immediately by, for example, throwing a thick cloth, blanket, or pouring a pan of water over it. BUT REMEMBER: DO NOT extinguish live appliances with water, as well as gasoline, kerosene and oil. If the fire does not go out immediately, immediately run away from the house to a safe place. And only after that, call the fire department. If you cannot escape from a burning apartment, immediately call “01” and tell the firefighters the exact address and number of your apartment. After that, call neighbors and passersby for help from the window. In a fire, smoke is much more dangerous than fire. Most people in a fire die from smoke. If you feel like you are suffocating, squat down or crawl towards the exit - there is less smoke below. If possible, breathe through a wet cloth. If there is a fire in the entrance, never get into the elevator. He may shut down and you will suffocate. Call “01” or ask your neighbors about it.

Now we will play a game with the children, during which we will find out whether the children know the fire safety rules, and we will practice some techniques for dealing with a fire.
The motto of our game will be the words of V. Mayakovsky “We firmly need to remember - Fire does not arise on its own!”
Competition No. 1 “Warm-up”

— During the warm-up, you repeated terms related to fire safety.
Competition No. 2
“Calling the Fire Department.”
Leading
What will you do if you see fire? (Team responses)
Every citizen must know - Firefighter telephone number “01”: If something catches fire, take the courage: Urgently call “01”, give the exact address, what has been burning, how long ago, where. It will rush for a few minutes - the fire department will rush to you and help you in trouble!
Imagine that your apartment is on fire, and the fire occurred in a large room from the TV. You need to inform the fire department about this. Before you have the opportunity, be familiar with the questions you'll need to answer during the call. (shows a poster) On the poster. 1. Address: street name, house, apartment, entrance number 2. What is burning and where 3. Floor. How many floors are there in the building? 4. Is there a danger to people? 5. State your last name and first name
(Children form a column. One by one they run up to the phone, pick up the receiver, dial “01”, give the address and run back.)
Competition No. 3 “Going to the fire”
Leading
. You called the fire department. How will they respond to your call? (children's answers) The car is red, there is a siren, a bright light. Always ready in it: Hoses, ladder, water! If there is a fire somewhere, And the heat of the fire is dangerous - They give way to her! Everyone knows this rule. At the signal, team members stand in the hoops, raise them to waist level and move to the opposite side of the gym, running around the pins like a snake. The mission is considered completed if the crew has not lost any of its crew members.
Leading
So, the young firefighters arrived at the fire. How many of you know the name of a fire hose that is used to extinguish fires with water? (sleeve) The fire hose should always be in perfect order, neatly rolled into a large “snail”. Captains will take part in this competition.
Competition No. 4 “Combat Deployment”
Presenter 1. At the signal, the team captains deploy a fire hose (satin ribbon), and then carefully roll it up. The one who completes the task faster wins.
Competition No. 5 “Rescuing victims”
Presenter
. Sometimes in a fire it is not so much the fire that is dangerous as the acrid smoke. It stings your eyes and makes it difficult to breathe. Who knows how to behave correctly in a smoky room? When walking through smoky areas, try to overcome them by holding your breath or covering your mouth or nose with a damp handkerchief or towel. But how difficult it is to see the victim in the smoke. Small children often hide from smoke in closets or under beds, making it difficult for firefighters to find them. Now our young firefighters will save not people, but their favorite toys. Each team must squat (“goose-step”) through a “smoky room” to the hoop, breathing through a wet rag. Next you take, i.e. save 1 toy and return to your team. Your task is to save everyone and take them to a safe place.
Competition No. 6 “Find the fire”
Presenter 1. Sometimes it happens that the fire is located in several places. Firefighters have to “knock” the fire into one place in order to completely extinguish it there. Now the teams will have to gather the fire in one place. Red handkerchiefs are hung throughout the hall - these are hot spots. The task of each team is to put on mittens or gloves so as not to get burned and collect the handkerchiefs in a bucket. The team that collects the most handkerchiefs wins.
Competition No. 7. "Put out the fire"
Presenter 1. How do you put out a fire?
(water, fire extinguisher). But sometimes there is no fire extinguisher at hand. Then buckets of water are used. Now we will put out the fire. Team members stand in a chain with their arms outstretched. On one side there is a basket with plastic balls, on the other there is a simulated source of fire. The first participant from the basket side takes the ball, throws it into the bucket and passes it along the chain. The latter throws the ball out of the bucket towards the fire, as if pouring out water. The team that ran out of balls first wins. Teams Leader
Careless handling of fire leads to burns, unfortunately. Just in case, you need to know how to help with burns. Let's learn this today, following the principle - everything in life will come in handy. ___________________________________________________________________________
Medic.
I will tell you what assistance should be provided to the victim if he has received burns. The burned part of the body should be freed from clothing, but if burnt remains of clothing are stuck to the skin, then you cannot remove or tear them off the body: this will damage the skin even more. Special precautions must be taken if the clothing is synthetic, since when it burns it melts and sticks to the skin. To make the process easier, it is better to cut the clothes. Place the burn area under cold water and hold for 10-15 minutes. If blisters have formed at the burn site, under no circumstances should they be opened: this may lead to infection of the burn surface. If blisters appear, apply a sterile bandage. For burns, do not lubricate the skin with any fats or ointments. In case of extensive burns to the body and limbs, the victim should be wrapped in a clean sheet, urgently call an ambulance or taken to a hospital, where he will receive qualified assistance.
Competition No. 8 “Help the Victim”
Each team has 1 fire victim. We work in pairs. The first pair puts a bandage on the arm, and the second on the leg. The jury evaluates the quality of the bandages.
For each correct explanation - 1 point.
Competition No. 9. Fire safety signs.
Each team is asked to draw several signs on a given topic, for example:
1. Do not throw cigarette butts. 2. Do not hang laundry above the stove. 3. Do not leave the heater on.
4. Don't forget to put out the fire.
5. Smoking area.
6. Fire extinguisher.
7. Smoking is prohibited.
8. It is prohibited to use open fire.
Summarizing.
Game industry
Along with police officers and astronauts, many children also want to become firefighters, so quite a few games have been created in which you can put out fires, drive a big red car and save people by leading them out of burning buildings. Unlike other game genres, here you will find many exciting arcade games with varied gameplay.
In some games you will need to catch people jumping out of the windows of burning houses, in some you will have to put out fires from a helicopter or plane, in some you will have to pull people out of hard-to-reach places, but of course, most often you will have to put out the fires themselves.

And if everything is clear with catching and rescuing people, then it will be possible to extinguish fires in different ways. In some games you will control rescuers from a third person and help them collect fire hoses and then direct them to the fire. In others, you will immediately control the fire hose, which must be aimed at the flame using the mouse. Games where you have to put out a fire in the first person are exciting, but games where you also have to control a large fire truck will be much more interesting.
We drive a fire truck
In turn, games about fire trucks are divided into three large varieties.
- The first type is overcoming obstacles by maintaining balance and accurately calculating at what speed and how exactly you should overcome the obstacle. Sometimes, the vehicle will have a trailer that contains important cargo needed to extinguish the fire. This cargo will need to be carried to the end of the map without losing it in time to overcome obstacles.
- The second type of game is a 2D racing game with a top-down view, where you will first need to get to your destination, trying not to go off the road or crash into other cars, and then put out the fire itself. The main component of success in such games will be your speed and reaction. After all, the faster you can get to your destination, the faster you can put out the fire and move on to the next level.
- The third view is driving in 3D mode with a rear view. This type is the most accurate firefighter simulator. Here you will also need to get to the scene of the incident, after which the main mission will begin.
In this section, we tried to collect the most interesting games about this dangerous and heroic profession. Now everyone can become a professional firefighter in the virtual universe!
