OPENING OF STATE-OF-THE-ART FIRE STATION AT ELEFSINA
"On 30th May 2005 the new, state-of-the-art fire station was officially opened at Elefsina.
In his address the Commander of the Fire Brigade, Lieutenant-General Christos Smetis, expressed his thanks to all those who had made the new fire station possible – especially TITAN Cement S.A., which donated the land and provided a significant amount of the funding for the construction of the new station.
Specifically, the Company had pledged a contribution to help finance the construction of the new building after the old Fire Station was destroyed in the severe earthquake of 1999.
The official opening ceremony was attended by TITAN Chairman A. Canellopoulos, Managing Director D. Papalexopoulos, members of the Board and Company executives. Also present were the General Secretary for Public Order, Mr. L. Evangelidis, the Members of Parliament A. Stavrou and A. Bouras, the Prefectural Governor of Western Attica, Mr. Arkoudaris, the Mayor of Elefsina, Mr. Ampatzoglou, senior officers of the Fire Brigade and representatives of local organizations and agencies – both military and civil.
The new facilities will enable the local Fire Brigade to operate even more efficiently, offering better service and protection to the people of western Attica.
