The ‘Big 5’ invite you to the Zug Action Day

The Zug Police, the Zug Volunteer Fire Brigade, the Zug Rescue Service, the civil defence organisation of the canton of Zug and the Zugerland transport company – collectively known as the ‘Big 5’ – are inviting the public to an adventure day at the Stierenmarktareal (bull market area) in the city of Zug on Saturday, 20th September.
 

Visitors to Zug Action Day, which runs from 10 am to 4 pm, can look forward to exciting live demonstrations and a large vehicle exhibition, among other things.

This includes a demonstration by police dog handlers and their four-legged friends and the Luchs Zug Police Intervention Unit. The Zug rescue service and the Zug City Volunteer Fire Brigade (FFZ: Freiwillige Feuerwehr der Stadt Zug) will demonstrate how they rescue patients from wrecked vehicles and provide medical care after a serious traffic accident. A person will also be rescued from a house roof using a hydraulic platform.

Try it out and be amazed
The Zug City Volunteer Fire Brigade will also be presenting its new pioneer vehicle to the public, and Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe (Zug Public Transport) will be showcasing its latest electric bus. The Civil Defence Organisation (Zivilschutzorganisation) of the canton of Zug will demonstrate its work in the field of rubble rescue, and will demonstrate other equipment.

Visitors will also be able to drive a remote-controlled ZVB bus around a course, and those who are interested can take a test drive as a passenger in the ‘e-Rod’, an electric car assembled by the apprentices of Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe.

There will be a festival tent and the little ones can let off steam on the bouncy castle.
