The Sénas fire and rescue center celebrated its 80th anniversary by opening its doors to the public on Saturday, October 10, 2026, attracting between 300 and 400 people for a day dedicated to discovery, sharing, and prevention.

The program for this day, which ran from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., included demonstrations of life-saving techniques, a photo exhibition, a sports course adapted for children, and various information stands. According to Lieutenant Lionel Trivat, head of the center, the event met its objectives in terms of participation and conviviality.
Visitors were able to discover the missions of firefighters, notably through a spectacular demonstration of extrication following a road accident. Younger attendees also enjoyed fun activities such as a zip line.
Beyond the entertainment, the aim was to raise public awareness about everyday risks and the reflexes to adopt in case of an accident. Lieutenant Trivat emphasized the desire to share the expertise of Pompiers13 and promote safety and prevention at all levels.
This anniversary day also served to bring together different generations of firefighters, strengthening bonds between veterans and new recruits. The event sparked vocations, with significant interest from young people in the young firefighters section and for recruitment.
The center's head thanked the association, the management, the center's staff, and Pompiers13 for their contribution to organizing this successful day, marked by conviviality and a parade.
