The European Commission is expecting a massive forest fire season in Europe
The EC expects this summer to bring fires in Europe on a larger scale than the average of recent years. European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarczicz said; that the destructive element will appear not only in the south of the continent.
Areas that are susceptible to forest fires are found not only in southern Europe, but also in Central Europe, and even in the northern part of the continent. Forest fires now occur in places where they have never been observed.

As he added, it concerns both the number of fires and the projected area to burn this year.
He assured that the EU was ready to provide aid to countries that would be hit by the natural disaster. It includes mobilizing support, firefighting teams, transferring planes to those regions in Europe where fires happen.
“We believe the risk of fires is high. I cannot say whether it is higher than last year, which was a historic year for the number of fires and burned areas.”
However, this season will undoubtedly be above the average of 10 or more years “- emphasized Lenarczicz.

Last year, the fire season was record-breaking in Europe.

A total of 15 planes, 6 helicopters were used and over 400 firefighters were brought in. The European Union has earmarked EUR 1.6 million to cover transport costs to support countries affected by the disaster.
