Greece is gearing up for an intense fire season by mobilizing its largest firefighting contingent ever. The country is set to deploy more than 18,000 firefighters, including 300 from fellow EU nations, along with 3,700 fire engines and 80 drones to combat potential wildfires. This proactive measure comes in the wake of devastating wildfires that struck the nation last year. Authorities are particularly worried this year due to a dry winter and soaring temperatures. The increased manpower and resources aim to better equip Greece in preempting and managing any fire emergencies as they strive to protect lives and properties.
