Aerial firefighting resumes in Greece due to wind reduction
Greece responded to the wildfires that burned thousands of hectares in the Athens and Boeotia regions, as the summer season threat persists and risk levels rose to level four out of five. Firefighting teams managed to launch nine aircraft, benefiting from decreased winds, to assist ground crews in tackling three major fire fronts. The fires have resulted in the death of five people, including three firefighters, prompting authorities to evacuate additional villages near Kandioli, amid concerns that the dangerous situation will continue due to the climate crisis and ongoing high temperatures.
