Austria activated the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) on 29 October 2021, requesting assistance to fight the forest fire that had broken out in the region of Hirschwang in Lower Austria. The EU’s Emergency Response Coordination Centre mobilized 2 Canadair CL-415 fire-fighting planes, based in Italy. The planes, part of the EU’s rescEU transition fleet, are already deployed in Austria.
In addition, Germany and Slovakia have offered firefighting helicopters via the UCPM. Both offers have been accepted and deployment is pending. The Copernicus Service has also been activated in support of the fire-fighting operations in Austria. The mapping products are available នៅទីនេះ.
Welcoming the rapid deployment of rescEU assets, European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez លេណារិច បាននិយាយថា: “With its prompt response to the Austrian request for assistance, the EU demonstrates again its full solidarity in facing the destructive forest fires. Support is on its way. I am grateful to the Member States that have already mobilised or have offered to mobilise fire-fighting assets. Our thoughts are with those affected, and with the fire fighters and other first responders. We stand ready to provide further assistance.”
