“The Interior Ministry is answering the call launched at European level and is ready to deploy forces to Australia. The EUCPM- Civil Protection Mechanism-has been activated at EU level following widespread fires in Australia“, says a ministry’s press release.
The ERCC has launched a call on Monday evening to the member states to report asap on the resources they have to intervene in Australia.

Three bushfires merged and formed a giant fire in the Australian state Victoria, on an area similar to the size of Manhattan district in New York. The bushfires affected around 6,000 hectares. The death toll climbed to 23. 1,500 houses were destroyed.
