Throughout the night, firefighters and hundreds of volunteers fought the fire fronts in the area of ​​the Nestos municipality east of Kavala, in an attempt to bring it under control and limit as much as possible the rekindlings that are continuous due to the strong winds blowing in the area . With the first light of day, the aerial vehicles started dropping water.

The commander of the fire department of Kavala in his statements early this morning made a reason for a more improved fire imagecompared to yesterday.

He emphasized that for the time being there is no danger to the residential area, however efforts are focused on to prevent the fire from spreading to even more mountainous areas where there is forest vegetation.

So far, the fire that started yesterday afternoon in the Dialect area of ​​the Nestos municipality and spread very quickly due to the strong winds blowing in the area has destroyed houses, livestock units, cars, crops and many acres of grassland.

Avramelia, one of the most beautiful villages in the municipality of Nestos, was the most affected by the fire which destroyed houses and property in its wake, while many areas resemble a place of skulls.

The same time, the eleven newborns were safely transferred at dawn to the General Hospital of Kavala from the University Hospital of Alexandroupolis (PNA), after the decision taken for the preventive evacuation of the Evros hospital.
