Re: above, in May 2019 a new EU fire fighting grouping was established, and from this year includes a fire fighting air reserve of 13 fire fighting planes, and 6 fire fighting helicopters, from 7 EU countries (2 planes and the 6 heli's from Sweden).
It's the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations fleet... Set up for the 2020 fire season.
It's part of the EU's Civil Protection mechanism.. that can be requested if a nation's fire services are overwhelmed.
