On Wednesday, February 19, 2025, we had the honor of donating two fully equipped 500-liter 4×4 Ford Ranger fire trucks to the Thessaloniki Fire Department. This donation is our way of actively contributing to the increased operational readiness of the Fire Service in Thessaloniki.
The handover ceremony, held at our company’s Stadiou premises in Kalohori, was attended by key representatives from both our company and the Hellenic Fire Service. Our president, Mr. Eleftherios Hatzopoulos and our CEO, Mr. Argyris Tsaknis, were present, alongside other members of our Board of Directors. The Hellenic Fire Service was represented by the General Inspector of Northern Greece, Brigadier General Theodoros Kosmidis, and the Commander of Thessaloniki Fire Services, Chief Fire Officer Athanasios Papathanasiou, along with officers, non-commissioned officers, and firefighters from the 2nd Special Forestry Operations Unit.
In his speech, Brigadier General Kosmidis thanked A. Hatzopoulos S.A. for the generous donation, highlighting the importance and magnitude of such support in helping the Fire Department continue its essential work. In response, Mr. Eleftherios Hatzopoulos expressed his delight in being able to contribute these vehicles, emphasizing his gratitude towards the vital work of the Hellenic Fire Service.
