PM Samaras visits fire fighting station in Halandri

Prime Minister Antonis Samaras thanked fire fighters on Monday, during a visit to the Fire Fighting Centre of Operations in Halandri, north of Athens, and pledged to help with staffing and wage issues in all security branches.

Addressing a review meeting on this year's firefighting season, Samaras said the crisis was coming to an end in Greece. "Our country can only get ahead when each person does his or her duty," the premier said. "We will then go ahead, and we are conclusively leaving behind us, in the past, at the end of this crisis we are experiencing now, all hardship. There is a future opening up widely ahead of us and you serve as the example that a young Greek can follow today."
