The Greek fire, which has been burning for more than a week, affected 70 decares in our territory - 10 decares of state forest territory and about 60 in the “Ali boot“ reserve. In our country it is localized. Along the entire periphery of his front, along which he entered our country, there is manpower deployed.
BTV warned about this.
Two Ministry of Defense helicopters were involved in the extinguishing.
A plane is arriving from France today to help put out the fire on the Bulgarian-Greek border, the Ministry of the Interior confirmed.
Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov announced that the mechanism for civil protection of the European Union has also been activated, according to which we requested a specialized aircraft to extinguish the fire.
The minister commented that the fire is entering a part of the Bulgarian territory and precisely in the places where there is information about a minefield, and therefore it can only be extinguished by aircraft from the air.
