This time we have decided to donate a FF vehicle to the territorial firefighting unit of Kumanovo, as our long-term collaborators. Recently our successful cooperation was also confirmed through their participation of in the interactive operational drill for managing incidents, which was organized in OKTA. Together, we have shown high level of professionalism and coordination in our efforts to prevent crises caused by unpredicted situations. We hope that this donation will contribute for more efficient operation of Kumanovo’s Firefighting Unit”, stated Suzana Crvenkova, Manager for Health, Safety and Environment in OKTA.
