Coeur de pompiers

All children dream of becoming firefighters. In the collective unconscious, they are heroes. In real life, they are women and men who have chosen to dedicate themselves to helping others.
In the current climate, as exemplified by the floods of spring 2024, they are increasingly in demand and their reality has changed.
Beyond the idealized image, we discover a contemporary reality that reflects the civic response to the times. Immerse yourself in the lives of these volunteers in four iconic locations in French-speaking Switzerland.
