LUCCA – The 60th edition of Lucca Comics & Games, one of the most eagerly awaited international events dedicated to pop culture, comics and gaming, has ended successfully. As every year, the Fire Brigade of the Lucca provincial command provided constant fire cover, handling prevention and the management of urgent technical rescue to protect the hundreds of thousands of visitors in the city.
The complex security operation was coordinated directly on the ground through continuous activity inside the Event Management Centre and thanks to the strategic set-up of an Advanced Command Post (PCA) to direct rescue operations.
Innovation and education: the new features of the 2026 edition
As well as the usual monitoring and first-response activities, for the first time the National Fire Brigade set up spaces dedicated to meeting the public:
- Cortile degli Svizzeri: an area focused on the combination of technological innovation and the language of comics, with an exhibition of latest-generation drones, immersive reality headsets and modern operational rescue equipment.
- Baluardo San Frediano: a space designed for families and children with the long-standing educational course “Pompieropoli”, alongside an exhibition of historic vehicles and the newest fleet additions.
The joint commitment of the teams on the ground enabled the smooth running of the events and parades in Lucca’s historic centre, ensuring high standards of protection and rapid response throughout the festival.
