Wildfires Cost Europe €4.1 Billion as Temperatures Hit Records
"Wildfires have cost Europe an estimated €4.1 billion ($4.43 billion) in damages so far this year, as
extreme heat seared the Mediterranean from Greece to Spain this summer".
Nearly 400,000 hectares (988,420 acres) of land across the continent has so far been destroyed
by forest blazes, according to the report from Distrelec, a major distributor of power sector
components, including sensors that give early warnings of potential wildfire activity. The research
was based on data from the European Forest Fire Information System.

There is often a lot of confusion in identifying exactly what we do. It is not uncommon to be considered by potential customers, institutions and industry as a potential “replacement” of the current Canadair CL415 amphibious firefighting aircraft. Nothing could be more wrong! Since 2011 we have been developing for firefighters and civil protection personnel, an integrated system that does not exist on the market; therefore, it does not replace what exists today.
