New fire erupted southeast of Athens
Greek firefighting teams announced that they have gained control over a forest fire that broke out this morning in the Attica region southeast of Athens. The fire was extinguished after three hours with the participation of around 200 personnel, 40 vehicles, 4 helicopters, and 2 planes. This occurred under challenging weather conditions, with wind speeds exceeding 70 kilometers per hour. Greece has experienced similar fires during the summer months in the past, resulting in the destruction of thousands of hectares and the deaths of two pilots involved in firefighting operations. This situation indicates an increasing frequency of wildfires in the region, linked to climate change, with experts warning that this phenomenon may escalate further in the future.
