Residents are having a hard time as strong gusts of wind make firefighting work difficult
Strong gusts of wind they caused a new flare-up making the extinguishing task difficult. The flames they entered the village while the residents had already evacuated it as they received a message from 112 asking them to move towards Lindos.
The flames shortly after 13.00 had reached 200 meters away from the settlement Vati crossing the road to Gennady.
Video from Vati:
The goal of firefighters and volunteers was to stop the fire front so that it would not reach the settlement, something they ultimately failed to do due to the winds.
The fire crossed the river located in the village and the wind takes it to Gennadi. At this point, there are no roads for the fire brigade. Thus, only aerial vehicles can operate.
Five canards fly over Vati, while helicopters also dropped on the spot. At the same time, the excavators create fire zones with the help of firefighters and volunteers.
The first evacuation of the settlement had taken place since yesterday, however, several residents are on the side of the firefighters who are making superhuman efforts.
