Elastrak supports volunteer firefighters

How? Supporting, among other things, the work of volunteers who give selflessly to the public and the Hippocrates State Risk Management Unit (or M.A.K.I.P.) is one such volunteer group that has been active for the last 11 years, providing decisive assistance to fires of the last few years.

One spark is enough to destroy a forest. And when the forest is destroyed, not only an enormous wealth is destroyed, but also the very life of man, the air he breathes, the beauty he sees, the peace and balance of his life. The M.A.K.I.P. team is recognized in the voluntary system of civil protection and is active primarily in the field of fire safety (prevention and suppression). Its role is auxiliary to that of the Fire Brigade, which also has overall responsibility, however several times throughout these last years it has proven to be on the front line.

Sensitive to the work of volunteers, Elastrak recognized the needs of MAKIP and offered free of charge four new tyres for the fire truck of the volunteer team, so that the fight for the protection of the environment and our fellow human beings can continue. In the hope that this struggle will not be barren and will have a happy ending.
