A research carried out by the Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco has shown how the majority of the emergency calls coming from households have a culinary reason, because a lot of people do not know the basic rules of the kitchen tools and they have no idea how to solve the “disasters” that happen in the kitchen.
This is why we had the idea of launching a project that could involve the firemen themselves. A book that could become a tool for people that don’t know what is the correct way to use certain utensils. Firemen were asked to share a traditional family recipe, something that could tell their story and their relationship with their colleagues as well. Recipes and suggestions written by them that can come in handy when we’re cooking. Teamwork doesn’t happen only on the field, but also in the kitchen, and it expands to the firemen’s families too.
The Dipartimento dei Vigili del Fuoco del Soccorso Pubblico e della Difesa Civile and the Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco take care of urgent technical issues and prevent and sorveil any possible fire situations. They’re a fundamental body of the Servizio nazionale di Protezione civile, and they also work as a defence for the population in case of calamities. They are part of the national defense system and they grant continuity in the government action.
