Hi everyone!
I'm Giorgio, and a few days ago I started this new adventure as a volunteer mountain firefighter in the wonderful district of Locarno, in the heart of Ticino! It's a challenge that excites me and of which I'm extremely proud, and today I want to share with you a bit of this experience and passion of mine.
It all started after a violent hailstorm that hit the Locarno area last year. The event left deep marks on our community, with damage to buildings, vehicles and cultivated fields. I saw the need to make myself useful and decided to give a twist to my volunteer commitment by becoming a mountain firefighter. And do you know what? Since I started this new challenge, I have never stopped smiling.
Yes, you read that right! Despite the seriousness and importance of my role, I decided to bring a touch of joy to my work by using Grisù the dragon as a mascot for my helmet. This little addition not only makes my work more fun, but also shows my enthusiasm in serving my community with dedication and joy.
Being a volunteer firefighter is a great responsibility, but it is also a unique opportunity to make a difference in people's lives and be a point of reference in times of difficulty.
If you too are thinking of giving a hand to your community, let yourself be inspired by my passion and pride in serving Locarno and Ticino. Together we can make a difference!.
See you soon,
Giorgio / Grisù
