Firefighting planes currently abroad assisting with wildfires

A large wildfire is currently raging in the High Fens, and many are questioning why the firefighting planes from Zwartberg in Limburg are not being deployed. This has proven impossible, as all firefighting planes are currently located abroad.

Reports indicate that the planes are often active in countries such as Turkey, Greece, and France, where they are used to combat wildfires. This raises questions about the availability of these resources within Belgium.

The situation in the High Fens is being described as the worst wildfire in Belgium's history. The fire has not yet been brought under control, and experts highlight the urgency of the issue.

There are concerns about Belgium's ability to receive help from other European countries. The question remains whether this support will materialize and what steps, if any, will be taken.

It is still unclear how the action plan will unfold, but the public and local authorities are closely monitoring the developments.
