A strong wind rose in the Shimatari area and raised the air temperature, resulting in a large fire. Authorities insisted on the quick evacuation of local residents.

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.

According to preliminary data, over the past 2021, fires in Greece have destroyed approximately 300,000 hectares of forests and shrubs, and for 30 years, the country has experienced extreme heat.

Also, in the summer of 2018, a fire engulfed the seaside town of Mati and the surrounding areas near Athens. As a result of the incident, 102 people died.

It was learned that a powerful fire had broken out in the city of Kyzyl in the Republic of Tuva. The fire allegedly spread due to late detection.
