A new team of 36 Bulgarian firefighters from the fire department in Kurdzhali will be replacing the firefighters from Bulgaria taking part in the efforts to extinguish the wildfires in Northeastern Greece.  

The firefighters involved in the efforts to put out the fires in the region of Alexandroupoli are returning to Bulgaria today. The replacement is rendered necessary due to the complicated situation in Greece; the new firefighting team will probably remain on site until 10 September. The new team includes representatives of the regional directorates of the fire departments in Sofia, Blagoevgrad, Kyustendil, Montana, Lovech, Gabrovo, Pazardzhik and Stara Zagiora.
