Helicopters of the fire brigade and the Greek Air Force put out a fire in the Parnita National Park at the risk of their lives.
Unfortunately, such volumes of water, “by a teaspoon”, do not give any serious effect. Realizing this, the leaders of the fire service gave the order to extinguish only the perimeter of the fire, so that the fire did not spread further.

Unfortunately this doesn’t help much. There are not enough water volumes, and the BE-200 or IL-76 aircraft, which Russia sent in 2021, are no longer available to Greece.
