Special attention was given to the virtual reality (VR) glasses, presented as part of the SAFAR project. Using VR technology, students could safely experience realistic rescue scenarios, see how decisions are made in emergency situations, and better understand the daily challenges of firefighters. This innovative training method helps to develop practical skills and prepares future rescuers for real-life situations.
The career days in Klaipėda became a valuable opportunity to communicate directly with young people who are looking for a meaningful and socially important profession. The strong interest shown by students confirmed that events like this help young people make informed career choices.
The event once again showed that the firefighter-rescuer profession is not only a job, but also a mission, for which modern technologies are now an important part of training.
