Croatian firefighters fill water trough for animals amid heatwave

As a severe heatwave grips Europe, firefighters from Pula, Croatia, have demonstrated a heartwarming act of kindness towards local wildlife. Amidst record-low water levels in rivers and scorching temperatures, the firefighters filled a water trough for animals.

“

Without water, no one can survive, not even our animals. We filled their trough so they can better endure these hot days.

Their efforts, documented in photos shared on the DVD Pula Facebook page, have been met with an outpouring of appreciation from the public. "Hats off, there are still good people," and "Well done, good people," were among the many comments praising the firefighters' compassion.

Hats off, there are still good people.

The region is battling an unprecedented drought, with temperatures in Croatia soaring to 40 degrees Celsius. While countries like France, Spain, and Greece contend with wildfires, central and southeastern Europe face extreme dryness, impacting even major rivers like the Danube. The firefighters' initiative offers a small but significant relief to animals struggling in the extreme conditions.

Well done, good people.
