In Austria there were many fires this summer. 55000 helpers from the fire department work at the fires. There are 3500 forest fires and grass fires. This is a very high number. The heat and dryness make the fires dangerous. The flames are high. Helpers are hurt. Cars burn down.
The bosses want more money. They need 200 million euro from the Bund. A special car for water costs much money. The helpers need better clothes. The work is ehren-amtlich. This means: People work without money.
The Klima-Wandel brings more danger. The fire department wants better training. They need helicopters. A group travels to Kanada. They learn how to stop forest fires.
