Considering that no high precipitation is forecast for the summer, we expect to see wildfires again but hopefully not as many as last year. Nevertheless, mayors should be prepared to respond, at least during the initial stage, and then ask for support from neighboring municipalities. If this is not sufficient, then they will communicate with the Protection and Rescue Directorate (PRD), said Crisis Management Centre (CMC) director Stojance Angelov on Friday.

Several helicopters of the Ministry of Defense, ie the Army will be available to us. This year, announced Angelov, for the first time we will have a helicopter of the Ministry of Interior which already has the necessary equipment for firefighting and the training of aircrew is underway.
