The air temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, dryness and strong winds contribute to the spread of fire.

A large -scale forest fire covered the northern suburb of Athens on July 26, forcing local residents to evacuate. This was reported by the Greece Fire Service, informing Ekathimerini.

Residents of the City of Crownie, who, 20 km northern -east of Athens, received SMS messages demanding to evacuate to safe zones, Fire Service Representative Vasilis Vatracoyannis said.

“There are reports about damage. We calculate them when the fire is removed,” he added.

However, according to him, “real sufferings are still ahead.” Greece turned to the EU civilian protection mechanism with the request to provide six firefighters.

It has been mentioned 145 firefighters and 44 fire machines, ten firefighters and seven helicopters are trying to kill the fire. At least five residents helped the four ambulances, most of them older people with respiratory problems.

The air temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, dryness and strong winds contribute to the spread of fire.

“Under the conditions, the fires spread very quickly and be dangerous. These conditions are likely to remain in the next few days,” Vatrakoannis said.

The fire service also fights four large fires: southwest, on the two largest Greek islands in the south and Evebay north of Athens, as well as on the island of Kiter Northwest of Crete. At least 335 firefighters, 19 aircraft and 13 helicopters are involved in the killing, but they can only work in the afternoon.

In total, over the past 24 hours, 52 fires have been recorded nationwide.

Remember that a strong forest fire exploded near the Greek city of Corinth. Authorities have ordered several villages to evacuate.

In Turkey, the temperature reaches a record of 50.5 ° C
