According to the mandated regional advisor for Civil Protection Matters of the Region of Crete in Heraklion, Yannis Leontarakis, the technical means of the Region of Crete are ready to contribute to the extinguishing operation.
As Mr. Leontarakis mentioned, the work of firefighting is not easy, due to both the topography of the area and the winds.
