With fire fronts active in Dervenochoria and Loutraki, the EU decided to help Greece by setting up the European Civil Protection Mechanism. Following this, assistance from EU member states is expected in the next few hours.
Specifically, according to an announcement by the Commission, the EU is going to send 4 firefighting planes from France and Italy, which will support the task of extinguishing the fires.

The Commissioner for Crisis Management, Yanes Lenarsic, says in a post on Twitter: “Following Greece’s request for help to deal with the fires in the Attica region, we are mobilizing two Canadairs from the EU Civil Protection Team in France and two Canadairs from our rescEU fleet in Italy, expected to arrive today as well. The European pre-deployed firefighters from Romania are already helping.”
