For example, the Wormerveer Steam Spray Foundation and the Gorkum Steam Spray Foundation show how fires were extinguished a hundred years ago: with a coal-fired Bikkers steam sprayer. In addition, a number of historic fire engines are exhibited on the site.
A spectacular water-powered attraction has also been arranged: the ‘Flying Firefighter’ of the Nibbixwoud fire brigade. That is a powerful jet of water that propels you about four meters into the air. Then you are thrown through the air at thirty kilometers per hour. So only for real daredevils.
