This footage shows more Romanian Firefighters flying to Greece to help their colleagues put out fires.

On Friday, August 4, a C-130 Hercules aircraft and a C-27 J Spartan aircraft belonging to the Romanian Air Force transported 90 firefighters from the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, who will replace their colleagues from the specialized intervention module in extinguishing the forest fires already deployed by our country in the Hellenic Republic.

On the return from Athens, the aircraft will bring back to the country 92 firefighters who acted to extinguish the recent forest fires in Greece.

Romanian specialists are acting in Greece in response to the request for support sent by the Greek authorities through the CECIS (Common Emergency Communication and Information System) dedicated information portal of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism as a result of the situation created by the spread of forest fires in recent days.

The request to execute the mission was made by the Department for Emergency Situations based on the decision of the National Committee for Emergency Situations.

The European Union Civil Protection Mechanism coordinates the response to natural and man-made disasters at the EU level, enabling coordinated, effective and rapid assistance to support affected populations. It includes a European emergency response capacity based on the voluntary pooling of resources allocated in advance by member states for immediate deployment within or outside the EU.
