A fire broke out north of Athens, where authorities urged local residents to evacuate to the nearest city.

This was reported by the Greek edition of Ekathimerini today, July 4th.

This incident took place in the Shimatari area due to strong winds raising the air temperature, 50 km from the capital. The fire was extinguished by more than 100 rescuers, supported by four aircraft and two helicopters.

In addition, officials called on residents to leave the city of Dilesi, and halted the movement of local trains.

Emergency teams are also trying to put out the fire in the Achaia region south of the Peloponnese peninsula, where four villages have been evacuated.
