This is according to City of Niš Fire and Rescue Brigade Commander Srđan Nikolić.
“Niš sent 12 firefighters in two vehicles,” he told Tanjug.

Serbian Prime Minister and Interior Minister Ivica Dačić said in the central Serbian town of Guča on Friday that Greece had accepted the offered assistance and that Serbia would promptly send fire engines and firefighters to the endangered region.

Dačić said he had told his Greece colleagues a Russian helicopter located at the Niš airport could be utilized for the purpose.
