The fire brigade calendar in four questions

Four practical pieces of information to remember if you want to obtain the 2025 calendar for emergency services.

1. Where to get it?

Either during door-to-door visits which they carry out in uniform, or by going directly to the switchboard at the Thionville barracks. “We try to be present in all the neighborhoods and all the streets,” says Gilles Chevallier, president of the Thionville firefighters’ association. But, also, certain municipalities such as Kanfen, Zoufftgen, Volmerange-les-Mines, Metzange, Œutrange, Veymerange and Ellange, where we intervene as a first call. » For greater efficiency, the emergency services have a new application which records the tour in real time. A precious help for each friend who offers, on average, around a hundred calendars. “It not only saves time for us, but also provides real traceability for the public. It allows us to show our seriousness to people,” says Gilles Chevallier.

2. When?

Since October 3 and until December 20. The period was extended compared to previous years due to the bank card payment application which requires staff time to adapt.

3. Comment ?

Small novelty, this year, and not least, the emergency services offer payment by bank card using an application installed on their smartphone. It is now possible to give your donation in cash, by check or through payment by electronic payment terminal.

4. Why?

«All the money collected for social actions at the Thionville barracks but also for improving the daily life of the barracks. The list of what we do with this money is enormous. There is also an important part dedicated to insurance without forgetting the feast of Saint Barbara.»
