希腊两架消防直升机在雅典西部扑灭野火时发生空中碰撞，其中一架坠毁[1]。这起事故造成一名希腊协调员和一名丹麦飞行员丧生[1]。碰撞发生在周日，事发地点位于雅典西部Psatha地区[1]。希腊总理基里亚科斯·米佐塔基斯对此表示哀悼，称"失去了这名希腊协调员和丹麦飞行员，当时他们正在尝试扑灭Porto Gremeno的大火，这让我们都感到悲痛"[1]。
这场悲剧凸显了欧洲野火扑救工作的危险性。目前，希腊、法国、西班牙等地正经历大规模野火灾难[1]。法国最大野火已烧毁420平方公里，导致22.4万人疏散[1]；西班牙至少有13人丧生[1]。2025年迄今，欧洲已有超过1万平方公里的土地被野火烧毁[1]。欧洲是全球升温最快的大陆，自1980年代以来升温速度是全球平均水平的两倍多[1]。
Two firefighting helicopters collided in midair on Sunday while battling a wildfire west of Athens, resulting in the deaths of a Greek coordinator and a Danish pilot [1]. The crash occurred in the Psatha region as crews attempted to contain the Porto Gremeno fire [1]. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed his condolences, stating: "We mourn the loss of the Greek coordinator and the Danish pilot who were attempting to extinguish the Porto Gremeno fire" [1].
The collision underscores the escalating dangers faced by emergency responders across Europe as wildfires intensify across the continent [1]. France's largest wildfire has burned 420 square kilometers with 224,000 people evacuated [1], while Spain has recorded at least 13 deaths [1]. So far in 2025, wildfires have destroyed over 10,000 square kilometers across Europe [1]. Europe is the world's fastest-warming continent, having warmed at more than twice the global average rate since the 1980s [1].
