Greece prepares for severe fire season with record firefighting force and €2 billion in new tech.

Greece is preparing for a severe fire season by deploying its largest firefighting force ever, with over 18,000 firefighters, including 300 from EU countries, 3,700 fire engines, and 80 drones. This follows destructive wildfires last year, driven by a dry winter and high temperatures. Greece is also investing €2 billion to improve its firefighting capabilities, responding to the impacts of global warming.
