Firefighters, along with volunteers and local residents made superhuman efforts to contain the fire
The large fire that has been burning since late yesterday afternoon, in an agroforestry area, in the area of Agia Irini Kefalonia, has been brought under control.
Important was the contribution of the aerial means which, with the first light of day, called out the ground forces of the fire service. In more detail, five firefighting aircraft and a helicopter fought the flames, in the inaccessible areas in the area of Agia Irini.
Also, late yesterday afternoon, 26 firefighters with a group of pedestrians and 10 vehicles were found in Kefalonia and a group of pedestrians with 6 firefighters flew in from Araxos to help their colleagues on the island.
The Deputy Prefect of Kefalonia, Stavros Travlos, spoke to APE-MPE, who pointed out that “there was a big fire, about 400 acres of land have burned. Until three in the morning the winds were very strong, but then they died down. The firefighters, along with volunteers and local residents made superhuman efforts to contain the fire.”
Furthermore, Mr. Travlos characterized as important as “important and immediate the help from the mainland” while finally he mentioned that the “PE of Kefalonia, was next to the firefighters and the residents, both with water tankers and with project machinery”.
