Greece calls for help. And the EU answers.

As wildfires are ravaging Attica, 🇬🇷 requested the activation of the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism yesterday.

We are responding by:

✈️ deploying 4 Canadairs from our fleet based in France and Italy;
👩‍🚒 👨‍🚒 sending three firefighting teams from Poland, Romania and Slovakia for a total of 220 firefighters and 65 vehicles.

In addition, three pre-deployed firefighting teams from Romania, Bulgaria and Malta are already in action.
