👨🚒👩🚒 Europe’s first line against wildfires is ready to respond. This summer, we have pre-positioned Romanian firefighters in France to work and train alongside local brigades. They are among more than 500 firefighters from 12 countries strategically pre-positioned in Europe’s most extreme predicted wildfire sites, including France, Greece, Spain, and Portugal. As part of our rescEU reserve and European Civil Protection Pool, we are also deploying 28 airplanes and 4 helicopters across 10 EU countries. Their mission is to bolster firefighting efforts and ensure the safety of the local communities. This is #EUSolidarity at its best – an asset that benefits everyone.
