Four CL-415 aircraft from Italy and France arriving in Greece to help it fight fires
Water-dropping firefighting airplanes are expected to arrive from Italy and France to Greece within the day, to help fight fires in the country, a Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Ministry statement said on Tuesday.
The request was made by Greece through rescEU, the European program of voluntary assistance to EU member states during natural disasters. Italy and France responded, providing two CL-415 aircraft each.
Currently two large fires are being fought in the Attica Region, and several villages in the Loutraki region as well as towns southeast of Athens have been evacuated over the last two days.
