”At SPEK, our vision is that Finland is a safe and resilient society. Safety education for primary school pupils is an important part of building a safe society. The #käpypalaa campaign helps ensure that today’s children and young people become responsible adults who know how to prevent wildfires.

A major wildfire can start from even a small act of carelessness. Hot and dry periods are increasing the risk of large wildfires in Finland as well. Therefore, it is important that children and young people know how wildfires start, when and where fire can be used in nature, and how to handle fire safely.”
