A big fire is going on in Corinthia. THE fire took place in an agroforestry area in Stimaga, Corinthia.

It started in a gully and evolves inside it. The nearby settlements (Stimaga, Dafni and Koutsi) are not threatened.

From the first moment the fire broke out, very strong actions and ground forces of the Fire Department were deployed, as it is a very difficult fire due to the very dense vegetation and the terrain.

The Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection convened a coordination meeting with the participation of the relevant ministries and agencies, the Local Government and all the security forces.

For the first front which is in full swing, ground and other forces have been mobilized.

They operate 19 aerial vehicles (11 aircraft and 8 helicopters), 140 firefighters with 6 groups of hikers and 45 vehicles.

Subsidy is provided by water and earthmoving machinery from the Municipality, the Region and the Army.
