Twelve purchased firefighting planes are only a beginning for the EU fleet.
2025 was the most destructive wildfire year in EU history, with more than 1 million hectares burned.
The European Commission pre-positioned more than 800 firefighters from 14 countries in high-risk areas of Southern Europe.
Already 1,000 wildfires were registered in Europe in 2026, almost twice the average of recent decades.
