We stand as one against wildfires.

Greece has activated the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism to fight the ongoing wildfires in Attica.

Our response has already mobilised:

✈️ 2 planes and 2 helicopters from the #rescEU fleet

🧑🚒 8 firefighting teams with vehicles, 4 from 🇫🇷 and one each from 🇨🇿 🇷🇴 🇮🇹 🇷🇸

This is #EUsolidarity in action.
