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.
@EU_Commission
Canada would be more than happy to help to thank you for the assistance received lately (If only we had #Wildfires under control & could spare teams & equipment)
