It is noted that a group of 21 firefighters from the 1st EMAK with two rescue dogs and a special rescue vehicle, is leaving in the next few hours as an aid mission to Turkey, which has been hit by a very strong earthquake.
On the order of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Greece immediately responded to Turkey’s request to send aid to deal with the devastating consequences of the powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake that occurred in the early hours of February 6 in Southeast Turkey and Syria.
The team will be accompanied by an officer-engineer of the Fire Brigade with expertise in the underpinning of collapsed building ruins, 5 doctors and rescuers from EKAV as well as the President of OASP, Efthymios Lekkas.
The mission will depart by C-130 from Elefsina airport.
