Serbian firefighters arrived in Greece at midnight: Situation complex, they will soon go to the field
The assistance was sent based on an official request from Greece to activate the Civil Protection Mechanism of the European Union in order to provide help in extinguishing a large-scale wildfire, this one in the mountains in the municipality of Paggaio, Greece.
Therefore Serbia dispatched to Greece a Kamov (Ka) 32 helicopter, capable of carrying five tons of water at one time, along with six crew members from the Helicopter Unit of the MUP's Emergency Situations Sector.
