Since the financial crisis in Greece, an increasing number of people are reliant upon social assistance. Consequently, in 2012 the ‘Greek Aid’ association (Griechenlandhilfe) voluntarily assumed the task of providing nationwide, humanitarian support for hospitals and other social institutions. These include the Greek fire services, which urgently require new equipment.
Therefore, Rosenbauer has now handed over 240 pairs of Safe Grip 2 gloves and eleven pairs of Austria boots to ‘Greek Aid’, which will soon be sent to Greece and distributed throughout the country. The heat-resistant gloves and slip-on boots with puncture-resistant soles offer safety for every operation. Something, which in view of the numerous operations annually – of which 32,000 are fires – the more than 15,600 Greek fire-fighters truly need. With this donation, Rosenbauer has not only once again demonstrated its sense of social responsibility, but also improved the safety of Greek fire-fighters.
