Wildfires prompt evacuations on Kefalonia
The article discusses the wildfires that ravaged the Greek island of Kefalonia, forcing residents to evacuate their homes as flames dangerously approached. Harsh weather conditions, including strong winds, prevented firefighting aircraft from effectively dousing the fires. Approximately 500 firefighters and 23 aircraft were deployed in an attempt to control the blaze, but stormy winds caused the flames to spread through the dry forests, hindering firefighting efforts. Greek authorities ordered the evacuation of the villages of Kandelí, Ágia Sképi, and Tóvoli, as smoke billowed over the mountains, with particular concern for the coastal town of Porto Gremno.
