The front of Alexandroupolis is the most serious, the one that worries the Fire Department the most, said the representative of the Fire Department, Giannis Artopaios, speaking to SKAI.

He added that the wind has not died down at all, blowing at 7-8 Beaufort, which is not helping the firefighting efforts at all. The fire – as he said – goes where the wind pushes it.

Since the outbreak of the fire, in the early hours of Saturday, 17 aerial vehicles and 250 firefighters have attempted the scene, but the severity of the phenomenon exceeds the powers of any mechanismhe said.

He emphasized that the effort is on the one hand to extinguish the fire, but where this is difficult, priority is given to rescuing citizens, hence the messages sent by 112 to residents in order to ensure the physical integrity of citizens.

Regarding the Alexandroupoli hospital, he emphasized that it had to be evacuated due to the very thick smoke and to avoid respiratory problems for the patients.

He said that the operation started at 21:45 and it was decided to turn the ship Adamantios Korai into a floating hospital as well as to have the structures in Xanthi Komotini and Thessaloniki ready to receive patients, as it was done.

For the fire in Nanny reported that there were two incidents, the first was dealt with very quickly, but the second took on proportions due to the strong winds. He noted that the forest of Dadia is a passage for migrants and when hot actions are taken in such a dense forest, there is a great risk of fire.

For the fire in Rhodope he said that the fronts in Mischos and Iasmos are better.

For the fire in White tower he said that it is close to the place where a fire broke out yesterday and that almost every day the fire department is called to the area for fires that start from burning tires or other materials and from burning dry grass on plots.

For Evia said the picture is better than yesterday. “We will do better to help a little from the winds” he added.

For the fire in Boeotia said the fire is ongoing on the west side between Prodromos and Sarantis beach.

For Kythnos finally he said that the fire is heading towards Petrousa and Agios Dimitrios.
