Pompieropoli Fiavé

Pompieropoli: children as firefighters for a day

Pompieropoli is the summer event that the Fiavé Volunteer Fire Department dedicates to children and families. In the town of Fiavé, nestled in the Giudicarie Valley in the heart of Trentino-Alto Adige, the fire station opens its doors and transforms into a large educational playground where children can step into the shoes of firefighters, test their skills, and discover the world of emergency services up close.

A course designed for the little ones

The heart of the event is the junior firefighter course: a miniature obstacle track that replicates, on a child-friendly scale, the typical tasks performed by firefighters. Ladders, tunnels, balance tests, and skill challenges guide participants through a fun and educational experience, always supervised by the department's volunteers.

• Obstacle course for junior firefighters
• Water games and hose drills
• Station tours and emergency vehicle displays
• Live demonstrations by the department's cadets

A community celebration

Pompieropoli is also an opportunity for the Fiavé community to come together and thank the volunteer firefighters who serve the town every day. The afternoon is filled with performances and side events, while the refreshment area, managed in collaboration with the Fiavé youth group, remains open until evening. At the end of the day, every child receives an official participation diploma as a junior firefighter.

Where and when

The event takes place in summer, during July, at the Fiavé Volunteer Fire Department station. Fiavé is a small town in the Province of Trento, overlooking the peat bog of the same name and famous for its UNESCO World Heritage pile-dwelling site. Admission is free, and the event is designed for families with children of all ages.
