Fighting the Wildfires
Panagiotopoulos Bricks and Roof Tiles S.A., responding immediately to the Municipality of Ilida’s call for help in tackling the wildfires that broke out on 15/8/2017, burning forest and farmland and threatening inhabited villages, was on the front line of the fight.
By providing company machinery – with the owner, Kostas Panagiotopoulos, operating one of them himself – the company helped create firebreaks and limit the spread of the fire until it was finally brought under control.
Although nightmarish memories of the great fires of 2007 were revived, fortunately the worst was avoided.
