Helo just came LOW over a villa in Coral Bay heading for the hills with large water bucket waving in the the air. Not been back since.

Just back from Polis and saw the fire near Droushia. Helo getting water from the dams also. Fire looked very close to houses as well.

Actually when I first read the headline I wondered what helos meant too. I've always abbreviated them to choppers.

I am glad that the headline with Helos was not from me, as it became such a big story.
Everybody in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Holland p.e. knows what a Helo (also Heli) is...
