why do they have to ask for help? surely the EU is a group of friendly countries that help each other out?

@Goodlucktoyou When they say "help" they mean trigger the official means to request foreign EU assistance. Even if other EU firemen or EU countries are willing to help, they cannot not enter the other EU state just because. Proper coordination and legal bureaucracy is needed.
