Firefighting resources reinforced
0 comments
The total number of resources employed in combatting wildfires is to be reinforced from today.
However, only 40 of the 60 aircraft will be immediately available. The current phase of readiness will remain in place until the end of September, with the next three months seen as the most critical in combatting wildfires.
Overall, close to 12,000 firefighters and officials will be in the field, and will be supported by 2,500 emergency vehicles and fire trucks.
