Background. Analysis of the activities of educational rooms in the State Fire Service, taking into account the distribution and accessibility in relation to the number of inhabitants of voivodeships and the number of primary school students.
Matherial and methods. A two-year analysis (years 2020-2021) comprised the functioning of Ognik educational rooms which were created in the State Fire Service (SFS) organizational units. The data pertinent to the number of rooms in Poland, participants trained, both minor and adult acting as tutors of the respective groups, dates of opening of a specific room, and address were taken from the website: http//www.gov.pl ›web›kgpsp›wykaz-sal-edukacyjnych
Results. The organizational structure of the State Fire Service in Poland is 335 poviat headquarters (PH) and municipal headquarters (MH). There are 105 educational rooms in these entities, as of January 19, 2022. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (2020-2021) 63,892 people (schoolchildren and adults who look after the groups) were trained in educational rooms at the State Fire Service. This result could be better if it were not for the epidemic restrictions on schools (remote learning, which was not possible in interactive educational rooms)
Conclusions. The educational rooms in the SFS constitute a valuable tool for teaching the safety rules among school youth. The SARS-CoV-2 epidemic has influenced the number of persons trained; during the subsequent epidemic waves, in the educational rooms were held no training courses.
Aim: Building awareness and safety culture in the field of first aid among Polish schoolchildren through additional, non-obligatory classes in medical rescue. Establish baseline knowledge and motor skills for CPR.
