The FireFest is the annual staff party of FireWare, where colleagues, partners, and children are all invited. This year is just a bit different; Sef and Jacq are traveling the world with their children on their boat!

And of course, everyone thought that was a fantastic idea. Thank you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lazzarella.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Lazzarella<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> for the fun workshop! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">From ClaraOke to laser gaming<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition to making pizzas, there were also plenty of activities. One of the highlights was the FireWare version of karaoke: the \u201cClaraOke\u201d. A fun <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">play on Clara\u2019s name, our beloved TD colleague, integrated into it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Laser gaming and MarioKart were also very popular. To wrap up, we all watched a great movie together. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In short: a FireFest full of fun activities!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Thank You!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The FireFest in honor of our 21st anniversary could never have taken place in this form without the trust of our clients and partners. We are incredibly grateful to you. We look forward to continuing to work with you in the coming years to enhance the professional competence of emergency responders around the world!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a celebration it was: our annual FireFest.
