The first outbreak of the fire, according to the mayor, has been addressed, but due to strong winds, the fire went to the mountain, in places where they can not attempt ground means, but only aerial ones, which have already started from Elefsina.
Due to the damage to the substation, many areas of the southern suburbs have been left without electricity.
