Greece has offered “holiday vouchers” to firefighters from foreign countries who responded to the assistance call. A joint ministerial decision was legislated last Friday, August 13, 2021, as a form of gratitude for foreign assistance in time of need.
According to the legislation, members of the foreign missions of the fire brigades, who helped in the difficult task of firefighting, are eligible for a holiday voucher.
The voucher allows them to receive tourism services for free in Greece.
Hundreds of firefighters from 11 EU countries and 12 non-EU countries came to Greece to help combat the big fire fronts that burned down thousands of hectares of forest and agricultural land, destroyed livestock and wildlife, houses and businesses since the beginning of the month.
