Serbia is helping Slovenia fight wildfires: Two helicopters to be sent today

The Republic of Serbia is today sending assistance to Slovenia in extinguishing wildfires that have engulfed the territory of that country, the MUP has announced.

According to a statement, 13 representatives of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP), from the Helicopter Unit and the Sector for Emergency Situations with two Agusta Bell 212 helicopters with a capacity of 1.5 tons of water each will be deployed in extinguishing a large wildfire in Slovenia, at Renski Vrh.

"I am convinced that members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia from the Emergency Situations Sector and the Helicopter Unit will give their full contribution in the fight against fires and in rescuing people and their property, just as they did last summer in Greece, North Macedonia and our brotherly Serb Republic. I want to stress once again that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia, led by Minister Vulin, is proud of its firefighters-rescuers and members of the Helicopter Unit, who always show exceptional courage and sacrifice in the time of need," said acting the head of the Sector for Emergency Situations, Luka Causic.
