A massive wildfire continues to rage in western France, having already consumed an area larger than the combined cities of Brno and Ostrava. A Czech helicopter crew, operating a Black Hawk, is assisting in firefighting efforts near Bordeaux. Over the weekend, the Czech team, working alongside Slovak and French colleagues, successfully protected a village encircled by flames. Remarkably, French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his gratitude to the Czech crew—in the Czech language. The deployment highlights international collaboration in responding to the escalating threat of wildfires. The Czech Republic's contribution is proving vital in containing the extensive blaze.
