The fire station in Imer, a village in the heart of the Valle di Primiero on the eastern edge of Trentino, is a focal point for the 1200 people who live there, the place where men and women voluntarily serve their community on a daily basis. Because in Trentino voluntary work is very much a way of life. All the fire brigades in the region have volunteer members and there are thousands of them who, in dedicated silence, form the backbone of the local rescue services.
The fire station in Imer works alongside the other brigades in the Valle di Primiero to provide all the emergency services and support the community needs.
To prepare the volunteers for the diverse and unpredictable situations they can encounter, a lot of time is spent on training, combining classroom instruction with practical simulations, often with other brigades.

Courage in the face of fire.
Their training involves practising how to use equipment, firefighting techniques and, above all, the importance of performing their duties safely.
The fire station is more than just a place where the volunteers work and train. It’s a space where they can connect, somewhere they can get together, chat, share experiences and feel part of something bigger. It follows that the kitchen also plays an important role: it is there to welcome, unite and support before and after every call-out, no matter how serious.
Focus Cucine has installed a Giorik Unika cooker, a functional, intuitive and versatile piece of equipment that can cater to the different situations the station finds itself in: a space worthy of those who put their life on the line for others day after day.
