Wildfires are raging in North Macedonia and Bulgaria. Our EU Civil Protection Mechanism is providing help in the form of helicopters and other aircrafts from Serbia, Slovenia Türkiye, Croatia and Czechia. Some of these aircrafts are part of the rescEU firefighting fleet, funded by the EU - for others, the EU coordinates the help and reimbourses a part of the related costs.
When it comes to natural hazards, preparedness is key. The Commission has put together a fleet of aircraft and pre-positioned firefighters this summer across Europe. 556 firefighters from 12 countries are strategically prepositioned across key locations in Europe this summer, such as France, Greece, Portugal, and Spain, ready to help local fire brigades. The EU has assembled a dedicated rescEU fleet of firefighting aircraft for this summer, consisting of 28 airplanes and 4 helicopters stationed in 10 Member States.
