First truck of its kind on Fournoi island

A first contact through the association “Friends of Ikaria” made us aware of the situation on Fournoi island, where the fire protection was handled by one firefighter equipped with a pick-up truck. In case of emergencies, the inhabitants would have to wait for back-up from neighboring islands ; largely depending on ferries.

The island had accumulated a small budget over the years, the association managed to double this budget to purchase and transfer a fire tender ; all-wheel drive, cabin for volunteers and a water tank sufficient for interventions on infrastructure and vegetation fires.

Several smaller projects resulted in fully equipped truck, two days have been planned to train the local volunteers on the use of the truck and the equipment.
