Recognized for contributions through volunteering
BAI Special Vehicles Receives 'Volunteer-friendly Employer in Civil Protection' Award
BAI Special Vehicles, a leading emergency vehicle manufacturer with a branch in Pforzheim-Huchenfeld, has been honoured with the 'Volunteer-friendly Employer in Civil Protection' award. The prestigious accolade recognizes the company's commitment to supporting the Pforzheim fire department and its volunteer forces.
The award ceremony was attended by key figures from both the fire department and BAI. Marco Abrecht, local office and sales manager of BAI, was present alongside Flavio Gandolfi, managing partner and owner of the company. Jochen Lechler, Huchenfeld department commander, and his deputy Daniel Bürkle also graced the occasion. Fire chief Sebastian Fischer and Mayor Dirk Büscher were among the dignitaries who expressed their gratitude towards BAI for their volunteer work engagement.
BAI's fire engines form a significant part of the Pforzheim fire department's fleet. The Huchenfelder department relies on the assistance of BAI employees for emergency response, a testament to the company's dedication to civil protection. This partnership is made possible by BAI's generous release policy, which allows its employees to participate in aid deployments whenever necessary.
The volunteering of BAI employees is particularly remarkable given the unpredictable nature of accidents, natural disasters, and crisis situations. In today's time, it is not a given that volunteer forces are available for such emergencies. The company's support is therefore crucial in ensuring the Pforzheim fire department can respond effectively to emergencies, regardless of work schedules.
Two years ago, the city of Pforzheim proposed BAI for the award, citing the company's significant contributions to civil protection. This proposal was subsequently followed by the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg.
While there are no specific publicly available details about BAI Special Vehicles as a volunteer-friendly employer in civil protection or its contributions to emergency services, the company's role in manufacturing specialized vehicles for civil protection and emergency response is well-established.
