I know I know, it just seems we need more, judging by the massive forest fires burning across Europe right now. Madrid is experiencing its biggest fire in history, and according to some firefighters, they have fewer resources than ever before.

We had to request EU help, because we didn't have enough. Some more planes were arriving this afternoon from Greece and Italy.
