About our team

The Volunteer Team of the Municipality of Kropia was founded in 2011 after the decision on its founding by the Mayor of Kropia, Dimitrios Kiousis, the Deputy Mayor and current member of the Executive Committee of HPDO, Theodoros Grivas and due to the contribution of volunteer municipal employees, the Koropi Hunting Association and other citizens.

By decision No. 264/2011 of the Municipal Council of Koropi, the team’s first operating regulation was approved. The team was gradually able to meet the entry requirements of the Register of the General Secretariat for Civil Protection.

In 2015, the formal application of the team to join the Register of the General Secretariat for Civil Protection was submitted and the team was accepted in June 2016 with the registration number 9/2016.

In 2020, the Volunteer Team of the Municipality of Kropia comprises 71 members. 46 of said members are certified in forest fire protection while 11 old and new members are currently receiving training in ‘forest fire protection’.
