FIRE FIGHTER WEEK MESSAGE FROM ASFA HOLDING CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD ASAF ATASOY.
ASFA HOLDING Chairman of the Board of Directors, Philanthropist Businessman Asaf ATASOY, published a message on the occasion of Firefighter Week celebrated in the last week of September.
ASFA HOLDING Chairman of the Board of Directors Asaf ATASOY included the following statements in his message;
The fire extinguishing organization, which served under various names such as the Fire Brigade and the Military Fire Department during the Ottoman period, was accepted as a municipal service as of September 25, 1923, and the modern fire department was established.
In today’s conditions, our fire department works 24 hours a day with its modern equipment and personnel to ensure the safety of life and property of our people, not only in fires but also in all natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes.
Our firefighters, who practice this sacred profession, have shown extraordinary effort by doing their part in the best way possible during the earthquakes, fires and floods that have occurred in different parts of our country recently.
I congratulate our brave firefighters who fight for the safety of our nation on Firefighters’ Week; I wish God’s mercy to our firefighters who lost their lives while performing this sacred duty, and I wish our firefighters who are on duty good health and days full of success.
