Summer Fire and MRT Disaster Prevention Camp, Taipei Fire Department opens registration

With summer vacation approaching, the Taipei Fire Department announced today that it will partner with Taipei Metro to hold a "Fire and MRT Disaster Prevention Experience Camp" in July. The highlight is the new "MRT Escape Experience Course." Online registration for free participation is now open for elementary school students residing in or attending schools in Taipei. According to the Fire Department, the event will take place from July 6 to July 22 (every Monday to Wednesday) at the Taipei Metro Beitou Clubhouse. The event is free of charge and aims to help children become "Disaster Prevention Warriors" through interactive challenges and drills. This year's collaboration with the MRT allows children to enter actual platforms, train cars, and simulated tunnel spaces to practice emergency responses. The curriculum also includes fire prevention, earthquake evacuation, and smoke escape techniques, allowing children to learn essential safety skills through simulations and games. Priority spots are reserved for children from welfare institutions.
