0 members
The Volunteer Forest Protection and Firefighting Team of the Municipality of Elliniko–Argyroupoli (EODPEA) was established in the aftermath of the devastating wildfire that swept across Mount Hymettus on 17 July 2015. It was founded by a group of committed citizens united by a common goal: the protection of the natural environment, human life and public property.
Today, the Team comprises more than 150 active volunteers of all ages and forms an integral part of the Civil Protection planning of the Municipality of Elliniko–Argyroupoli. It works in close cooperation with the General Secretariat for Civil Protection, the Hellenic Fire Service, and the Hymettus Protection and Development Association (SPAY).
Throughout the year, its volunteers participate in a wide range of activities, including forest protection, wildfire suppression, search and rescue operations, first aid, emergency response to natural disasters and extreme weather events, telecommunications support, and public awareness initiatives promoting forest protection.
Guided by its motto, "We Love Our Mountain," the Team also organizes volunteer actions for cleaning, watering and maintaining the reforested areas of Mount Hymettus, actively contributing to the preservation and enhancement of the mountain through the participation of hundreds of volunteers and supporters.
