For the eighth day, the battle fought by the Fire Department in its wider area continues Alexandroupolis, and especially in the forest of Dadia, where the fires are constant. The most difficult spot is still located near Leptokarya.

Near the settlement of Avra Prefecture of Evros, there are scattered outbreaks. Fire brigade vehicles are lined up and to the east is the settlement, which has been evacuated.

Message 112 for evacuation it has also been sent to the settlement of Kassiteron in the municipality of Maroneia Sapon as well as two other settlements, Plaka and Attarni. For now, there is tempered optimism.

However, the strong winds make the extinguishing work difficult.

For this reason, 4 aircraft and 3 helicopters have been ordered to stand up.

The Leptokarya front, so far, does not threaten the Rhodopes, as there are small controlled outbreaks.

The extension of the fiery arc of the fire that burns Dadia, Kotronia, Aisymi and Leptokarya threatens at this time.

Forces have been strengthened in Dadia – Critical 48 hours

Both ground and air forces have been greatly strengthened in Dadia. Since the morning, more than 300 firefighters with 85 vehicles, 10 aircraft and 4 helicopters have been working. The situation is described as difficult.

After a meeting of the Coordinating Committee, it became known that a “deadline” of 48 hours was decided, as on Tuesday the winds change, they become southerly and if it has not been demarcated, it can escape to the north.

The flames in the western part of the “core” of the Dadia forest are threatening.
