The battle of the fire brigades with the flames in the village of Petroto of Domokos has been going on for 15 hours.

52 firefighters with two (2) groups of pedestrians, 16 vehicles, 11 aircraft and three (3) helicopters are operating at the scene, one (1) of which is for aerial coordination. Assistance is provided by volunteer firefighters as well as water tankers and project machinery of the Local Self-Government.
