Europe has rushed to help Greece in its fight against fires devastating its southern regions.
The EU has a Community mechanism in place to facilitate reinforced cooperation in civil protection assistance.

Major Southern Greece was on fire. Here in Greece there is a strong public feeling that the real cause of the fires is the exploitation of the forest plant by private developers. Even the ancient Olympia, the place where the Olympic games are born was set on danger. Personally, as a Greek citizen I want to thank every foreigner who helped on the fight with the fire.
