Einar's on the way to Greece

With the worst forest fires in over 150 years going on in Greece, Einar's company was hired by the EU to help in the fire-fighting efforts. He left Sunday at noon and will hopefully arrive in Greece Monday evening, if not, then Tuesday morning.

I am not the least bit thrilled to have him hovering over those giant flames down there...

Here's some newsclips if you're interested in seeing Einar "at work". He's mostly just explaining about how they can contribute to the fire-fighting efforts and what kind of equipment they have, the "Bambi-bucket" that hangs under the helicopter.
They are also sending a Norwegian tv crew down to Greece so maybe I'll have more clips to share in the coming days.

I know most of you don't understand a word he's saying, but thought I'd share anyway.
Here's the two clips so far:

and a radio interview for any Norwegian speakers who are interested...
