Six planes and 200 Spanish soldiers help fight fire in Portugal. Italy sent two planes and France three.
These are the Canadair/Bombardier models and Air Tractor, all widely used against fires.
I think that the southern european countries should have bigger planes as the Boeing 747-400 SuperTanker, that carries much more water to fight big fires.
Perhaps the European Union is not interested because it's not made in the EU.
