“I don’t see them as flare-ups. It is not possible to put out the fire in Shaktouria, and it appears in Krya Vrysi and then in Rodakino and then in Agia Galini” characteristically said Yannis Tatarakis
“Now I can’t talk about anything other than that it’s an organized plan”, emphasizes the Mayor of Agios Vassiliou Yannis Tatarakis referring to the new fires that broke out at noon on Monday in the south of the prefecture of Rethymno, at the same time that even – and due to the strong winds that are still blowing in Crete – the alert of the Fire Services had not ended, reports the Cretalive.gr.
It is recalled that initially a fire broke out in Peach, which was quickly brought under control by the fire brigade patrolling the area. However, a short time later a new front between Melampes and Shakturias caused a great disturbance as strong winds sent the flames straight towards the settlement. 112 sent a message to evacuate the settlement to Saint Paul and Akumiani Glasses.
And while Saktouria was threatened, a new fire broke out around the villages of Kare, Ampelaki and Koumoi in the municipality of Rethymno, creating new needs for strong intervention by the fire service. As evening fell and while the aerial means could not intervene due to the ten Beaufort winds blowing in the area, a new outbreak broke out near Krya Vrysi and also Agia Galini, which they caught up with.
“Now I can’t talk about anything other than it’s an organized plan. This will of course be shown by the investigations of the Fire Department, but honestly, this cannot happen to the extent that it does if it is not a plan. I don’t consider them to be flare-ups. It is not possible to put out the fire in Shaktouria, and it appears in Krya vrysi and then in Rodakino and then in Agia Galini. Now I can’t help but think it’s an organized plan. But let them know that as long as I am mayor, they are not going to develop any acre”, emphasizes Mr. Tatarakis, who added that “the situation is now out of control in the region. The prime minister himself must intervene in this area. If this domino of fires is not stopped, the municipality of Agios Vasilios will not be on the map.”
