In the footage of the video, one gets only a small taste of how difficult it is to access the virgin forest.

Video of the superhuman efforts made by firefighters to extinguish and open fire zones has been released in Dadia Evros. At the risk of their lives, the firefighters fight the flames hand-to-hand, while in the footage of the video one gets only a small taste of how difficult it is to access the virgin forest.

According to the Fire Department, the fire is raging on multiple fronts, with the main one in Dadia. “In Evros we have a problem, and in the North-West and North-East part, the density of the forest is so great that we cannot enter, the firefighters crawled into the forest to put out the fire” the representative of the fire department told SKAI John Baker.

About 15,000 acres were burned in Dadia, the deputy governor of Evros told SKAI, Dimitris Petrovich. “We are focusing on the fire zones especially near the village of Dadia which was evacuated yesterday” he emphasized, while clarifying that this is a virgin forest with special relief and great difficulty of access.

In the area, estimates are made for a major ecological disaster, as it is reported that the fauna, including rare birds of prey, has suffered irreparable damage, while the flora will need 20 to 30 years to return to the previous state.
