Europe Unprepared for Extended Wildfire Seasons
Europe's largest air rescue company Avincis warns that Europe is not prepared for longer and more extreme wildfire seasons, as firefighting aircraft are now needed almost year-round. CEO John Boag emphasizes that extended wildfire seasons, bureaucratic hurdles, and regional aircraft shortages are exacerbating the problem. Meanwhile, firefighters in France and Spain are battling massive wildfires before a new heat wave is expected.
