Helping to put out the flames
A group of Israeli firefighters travel to Athens to assist their Greek colleagues in conquering the giant fires

A group of 25 Israeli firefighters is leaving for Greece after the Greek government approached Israel on Sunday and asked for assistance in fighting the massive fires in the country.
The commander of the group, Moshe Suissa, said the team will contribute their knowledge and creativity. “We were told we will be in charge of a region. We will follow the Greeks’ instructions. Some of us will be stationed in firehouses in Athens and the rest will head to the disaster zones.”
Suissa added that the group will carry with it only basic equipments such as helmets and fireproof jackets.
Tzahi Levi, one of the firefighters on the team, said: “If our Greek friends need us, we will support them as much as we can. We have the courage, dedication and good will that is needed. We leave today but don’t know when we’ll return.”

Way to go Isreal. This satellite picture of the fires is absolutely amazing. Those are some big fires and I can definitely see why they would need help. Trying to put out large fires like that is an around the clock effort that requires large teams of firemen. They need to get some of those fire planes and fire helicopters in there to assist as well. In times like these all neighboring countries should assist. Thanks for posting this article.
