Large forest fires in Europe, particularly in France and Spain, have highlighted a critical shortage of amphibious Canadair aircraft used for firefighting. These aircraft, which can directly draw water from bodies of water, are scarce and often outdated, leading to criticism of European governments' preparedness for extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change. The EU has ordered more aircraft, but they won't join the fleet until 2028.
