Dalam Angka
Major forest fires broke out in the Tiva area northwest of Athens and around Karystos on Evia Island. As strong winds spread the flames, residents and tourists were urgently evacuated from three settlements on the island. Authorities called on the public in two more villages to be ready to leave.
Fourteen helicopters provided aerial support for the Tiva fire, while a fire near Peania east of Athens reached the motorway, prompting traffic diversions due to reduced visibility. Civil Protection advised residents living near the fire front to wear masks. A fire at a truck depot in Thessaloniki created a smoke cloud but was said to pose no danger to surrounding villages.
A "very high" forest fire risk has been declared for Attica and the Cyclades Islands for tomorrow. Tourists were urged to pay close attention to police and fire service warnings and stay away from risky areas.
