Two Canadair planes from Italy arrived in Czechia on Friday to help with the firefighting efforts in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park.
The planes, each with a capacity for 6000 litres of water, already assisted last Thursday, but then had to return to Italy to respond to a fire that broke out there.
They will replace the Swedish Air Tractor aircrafts, which have been assisting in extinguishing the fire since last week. The planes are collecting water from the Milada lake near the town Ústí nad Labem.

The forest fire in Bohemian Switzerland in the north of Czechia, which has been raging in the national park for thirteen days, is close to being extinguished, the head of the Czech national fire service Vladimír Vlček told the Czech News Agency on Friday.
The officers had hoped to contain the blaze by Friday, however their efforts have been complicated by high temperatures and lack of rain.
The area where the fire continues to burn has been reduced to around 400 hectares, but new outbreaks still occurred during the night.
Overnight, firefighters conducted a survey using drones in the northern part of the territory, regrouping forces and resources closer to the places where outbreaks are occurring.

A total of 416 companies filed for bankruptcy in Czechia during the first seven months of 2022, around 20 fewer than in the previous year, according to a report by the CRIF - Czech Credit Bureau. Some 3,201 entrepreneurs filed for bankruptcy during the same period, a drop by 585 on the previous year.
Most bankruptcies, 102 per 10,000 entrepreneurs, were declared in the region of Ústí nad Labem, while the fewest were in the regions of Prague and Zlín.
According to CRIF analyst Věra Kameníčková, the low number of company bankruptcies points to the fact that firms are still able to cope with the current difficult business conditions. However, she said it was difficult to estimate development in the second half of the year.
