Sunshine Coast-based McDermott Aviation is using its fire fighting helicopters to rescue people caught up in severe flooding in Greece.
The Cooroy company has eight choppers, 17 pilots and 18 engineers in Greece for the bushfire season.
After a few months fighting numerous large and deadly bushfires throughout Greece and its islands, the company is now saving people affected by Storm Daniel which has devastated large areas of central and northern Greece and killed at least 11 people.
At least six are still missing and the Greek Government said the damages bill is around two billion Euros.
The coastal village of Paltsi received around 750 millimetres of rain in 24 hours last week which is more than it normally gets in a year.
McDermott Aviation was one of the first aerial rescue services to start assisting the victims of the deadly 2011 floods in Toowoomba and the Lockyer Valley.
