The battle with the flames continues in the fire that occurred shortly after 11 am in the Wooden castle of Corinthin a wooded area in the Rosena area and took on dimensions.

According to the fire department, the image of the fire is better because the intensity of the winds has dropped, which previously reached 7-8 Beaufort. The front has been opened and in some places it is difficult to access, but the settlements of Hellinikon and Pyrgos have not been affected. The 112 mainly concerned the agricultural lands that exist in the area as it is the season of agricultural work and there was concern that someone would be trapped. They estimate that during the night the extinguishing will proceed smoothly and the front will not extend to other areas.

It is noted that 3 messages via 112 have been sent to the residents of the wider area, two of which called for the evacuation of settlements. In particular, at 17:04 a warning message was issued by 112 for preparedness in the wider area of ​​Rosena, Corinthia, at 17:25 a message was issued by 112 to move away from the village of Pyrgos to Zacholi, while at 17:45 a third message was issued by 112 for preventive evacuation from Elliniko to Kato Pitsa.

The fire is burning in a difficult place – in a ravine with dense vegetation – and because it is not accessible to the ground forces, many aerial means are trying to extinguish it.

According to the latest information, the firefighting forces have been strengthened. 255 firefighters with 9 EMODE forest commando groups are operating. During the day, 14 aircraft and 10 helicopters operated from the air.

Volunteers, water tankers and project machinery of the Peloponnese Region as well as project machinery of the General Staff of National Defense are also helping. The fire broke out at around 10:51 a.m. in a wooded area and in an inaccessible spot, which makes the work of the fire brigade difficult.

Corinthia was today on “orange” alert for the risk of fire.
