A national campaign to recruit volunteer firefighters has just been launched. In Ariège, the SDIS has just created a video which is intended to be broadcast on social networks. A first with a professional rendering.
Between the shots filmed by a drone, the Minority Report images and the breathtaking scenario, one would almost tend to forget that it is fiction. Perhaps because in reality, it is their daily life. The departmental fire and rescue service (SDIS 09) has just officially launched the recruitment campaign for volunteer firefighters by publishing a video shot at the Pamiers barracks. A hard-hitting 3-minute format, relating an intervention on a road accident, which is intended to be broadcast on the main social networks *, in particular on the Youtube channel of SDIS 09. This Monday, after only two days of legal existence on the web, more than 1,850 views were already registered. “To your likes! To your shares! », Launches Marie-Laure Soucarre, responsible for communication, during the first screening of the video which took place Friday evening, at the Pamiers barracks, in the presence of Frédérique Thiennot, mayor of the city and emergency doctor.
The actors and the director are in the business
An innovative support which completes the national offer since the SDIS 09 is the only one in France to have embarked on such an achievement. And with success, thanks to Léo, a volunteer firefighter who wishes to carry out film studies, and the entire guard team who lent themselves to the game. “It is never easy to put on the stage , especially when we do our job, while keeping the natural and technical. But precisely, it is because you are not extras that you were able to visualize the events before it took place. And this proves that even a small SDIS like ours does not need expert box office managers since we have the skills in our pool ”, congratulates Colonel Fabien Didier, the big boss who is at the head of 56 professionals and 799 volunteers.
However, this is not enough because the need for new blood is felt throughout the territory. In particular in the Couserans, the Donan and the country of Olmes. “There are no city firefighters and field firefighters! », Warns Colonel Didier. Because in the background, “a work of legal security of this status” is played out. “Today, the model is under attack, in particular by European case law. This poses the problem of the place of engaged citizen in society. And this is valid for the volunteers of the Red Cross or Restaurants. Moreover, a major bill on volunteering is under study ”, specifies Colonel Didier, who has already started recruiting differentiated according to skills. “We need everyone! Insists Patrick Antoniutti, the head of the departmental union. We must commit! “
